Directions

Pour 1 inch water into a 2- to 3-quart pan. Add potatoes, cover and bring to a boil over high heat; simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well.

Meanwhile, pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onions and garlic. Stir often until onions are limp, about 10 minutes. Add chilies, cilantro, and cumin; stir often for 1 to 2 minutes.

Mix potatoes and lime juice with ingredients in pan, then spread out to make rather level. Pour eggs over potatoes; as they cook, use a wide spatula to scrape and lift firm portions from pan bottom, so uncooked egg can flow beneath. Cook until eggs are set as firmly as you like. Scoop onto plates and season portions to taste with salt, pepper and salsa, and accompany with tortillas.

Makes 6 servings.
