Dan makes this from time to time and we just had it again for breakfast the
other morning.  Is great with American breakfast eggs and stuff or a full
Mexican breakfast.  Also good for side dish with any meal and left overs are
wonderful just warmed in the microwave.  I thought I'd post it here even
though it is simple and maybe obvious but some of you who don't like to cook
with lots of ingredients or things that take too much time should love it
(nudge, nudge, Myron).

Dan's Potatoes

Here's what he does.  First peel (or not) some potatoes (Yukon golds are my
favorites for this but any will work) and chop and boil them until just
tender in water.  Meanwhile chop and saute some onions in a non-reactive
skillet.   Drain the potatoes when done and add to the onions along with a
jar of your favorite salsa.  Add some chicken stock so it isn't too thick
and let this simmer for flavors to meld.  We like this with habanero salsa
but this last time he just used some Rotel Pico de Gallo (garlic) we had in
the pantry and it was really pretty good.  He will kick it up with whatever
strikes his fancy at the time: fresh chiles sauted with the onions are
always good.  I think this recent batch had some Calvin's added, some of the
El Yuc XXXtra hot hab sauce I just discovered and if I remember correctly a
dash or two of Outer Bridges Sherry Pepper Sauce.  Yummy.
