In the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado, late fall was harvest time for potatoes. As a young child, I would go with my mother and grandmother to glean the tiny red potatoes left behind by the harvester. These would become the tastiest morsels, sautéed and combined with various seasonings that the women of the house always had on hand. -TM
Ingredients:
3 pounds red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 10 cups)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup chile colorado
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Directions:
1. Place the potatoes in a Dutch oven. Cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 20 minutes or until tender. Drain.

Repeat procedure with remaining oil and potatoes. Place potatoes, onions, Chile Colorado, and salt in pan, and cook over medium heat 1 minute or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly.
