Method (preview)

1. 1

   Especially if you want something more substantial than the rajas alone.

2. 2

   Cook the potatoes but be careful not to cook them too much; they should be al dente, or they will disintegrate during the frying.

3. 3

   Remove the seeds and veins from the chiles and cut them into strips about 1 1/2 inhes long and 1/2 inch wide.

4. 4

   If the chiles seem too picante, soak them in salted water for about 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Heat the oil and fry the onions gently, without browning them, until they are soft.

6. 6

   Add the chile strips, potatoes, and salt to the onions in the pan.

7. 7

   Without coverint the pan, fry the potatoes until theyare nicely browned, stirring the mixture from time to time, as the chile and onions are apt to stick to the bottom of the pan.
