Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup Mexican crema
  • 2 tbsp lime juice

  4. Transfer the fried potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  7. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or drizzle with hot sauce.
