  Bring a pot of water to a boil, the potatoes the potatoes and boil for 10 minutes with 1 teaspoon of salt added. Remove potatoes and drain.

  Prep the other ingredients while the potatoes are boiling. Shown here my garlic, cilantro, chili paste (one 1 teaspoon of that was used, a small bag lasts a while), and the lime juice. I use lime juice as it is everywhere, lemon juice on the other hand is not that easy to find, they can be used interchangeably.

  Take drained potatoes and fry in oil, drain potatoes on paper towels. (I actually forgot this step but the potatoes turned out perfect.)
