Preparation
- Step 1
Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeño and corn, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for a moment. When corn begins to brown, shake pan to distribute for even browning. Remove corn.
- Step 2
Add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add potatoes. Cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown around edges and release from pan, about 10 minutes. Continue, at least 15 more minutes, turning potatoes to brown all sides without stirring too often. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and lower heat if needed to prevent scorching. When potatoes are tender and golden, add chili powder, corn and beans.
- Step 3
Turn on broiler. Place rack about 4 inches below. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and run under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Fine but not awesome. Consider adding onion or scallions, using more cheese, and/or serving with salsa. Make sure to cook over the potatoes over *medium* heat (not medium-high). At the end of Step 2, add salt and pepper to taste and to heat the mixture through before moving it to the baking dish.
Another way to shorten the pan time is to microwave the potatoes briefly first. For medium-size new potatoes, try 90 seconds--2 mins on high. It starts to soften them and also slightly dries them, which results in a better crust when they are pan-fried afterwards.
For breakfast, lunch or dinner, this is a fun one to play with.
I always add onions, usually red, more heat & pepper jack cheese.
And mixing up the potatoes is nice, too: red, purple, yellow, even sweet potatoes.
Sprinkle a little vinegar on the leftovers and serve it at room temp as a salad on sliced tomatoes.
Used this as filling in enchiladas and it was fantastic. I did add onion, I think it would be a little plain as written.
Made with sweet potatoes tonight . This is one of our favorites and good leftovers.
Insane. A keeper for sure. Made as written sans the cheese so skipped the broiler and just warmed the "assembled" dish through right in the pan. Delish. A true winner and I am grateful the recipe was shared. Will serve with eggs for hubby and child, and as-is for me. Love the note to serve leftovers with vinegar. Looking forward to the leftovers as a salad!
