Mexican Fried Potatoes

Ingredients

 * 1/3 cup vegetable oil
 * 2 pounds potatoes, scrubbed and diced
 * 1 medium onion, diced
 * 1 poblano chile, seeded and sliced thin
 * 2 medium tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped Salt, to taste

Directions

 * 1) Heat oil in a large heavy skillet. Add potatoes, stir to coat with oil, then pat into a flat layer.
 * 2) Cook over medium heat until they begin to sizzle and turn golden around the edges, about 10 minutes.
 * 3) Stir in the onion and chile and pat into a flat layer again.
 * 4) Cook over medium heat until the potatoes are browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
 * 5) With a spatula, turn the potatoes over to brown the other side.
 * 6) If using tomatoes, stir them in and pat into a layer again. Sprinkle with salt to taste, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook until the potatoes are nicely browned on the bottom again, about 5 minutes.
 * 7) If using cheese, sprinkle over the top and cook 2 minutes more, or until the cheese softens. Serve immediately.
