Steps:

• Boil potatoes in water to cover in a saucepan just until tender; drain well. Dice unpeeled potatoes. Combine potatoes, onions, and butter in a baking pan and mix well.

Season with salt and cayenne. Spoon into a 3-quart glass casserole. Bake at 350° until heated through. Surround with fresh tomatoes, avocado, and green onions. Spread remaining sour cream down the center of the dish, if desired. Serve immediately. Note: Potatoes will bake in a hurry if boiled in salted water for 10 minutes before popping them into a very hot oven. Fun Fact: The Image is of The Hadrien Gate and the Cardo Maximum in Petra.
