• Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper and toss, slightly smashing the potatoes with a metal spatula. Press the potato mixture into one even layer and cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the potatoes and gently smash again into an even layer; cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 5 more minutes. Stir in the cilantro and lime zest.

SPICY CUMIN FRIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil, then divide the fries between them. Bake, tossing once or twice, until crisp and golden brown, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Place the chiles in a bowl, cover with a plate and shake to release the seeds. Fish out the chiles, leaving the seeds behind.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds, peppercorns, chopped chiles and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the scallions and remove from the heat.
• Toss the fries with the spiced oil and season with salt. Remove and discard any large chile pieces.

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat until it begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring a few times, until soft and lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the onions to a plate.
• Add the remaining oil and the butter to the pan, increase the heat to high and heat until the butter has melted and the oil is sizzling. Add the potatoes and chile powder and season with salt and pepper and immediately press down into an even layer on the bottom on the pan, using a wide metal spatula. Cook, pressing down occasionally and not turning, until the potatoes on the bottom are golden brown and crusty, about 5 minutes. Turn the potatoes over, press down again and cook until the potatoes on the bottom are golden brown, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in the onions, season with more salt and pepper, transfer to a shallow bowl or a platter and garnish with green onion and cilantro.
