1/2 Onion
2 Eggs ; hard-cooked

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

1. If the skins on the potatoes look fresh, leave them on. Otherwise, peel the potatoes and then slice them into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Steam them in a vegetable steamer until they are tender but still firm. 2. While they are steaming, make the sauce: Slice the jalapenos in half and take out the seeds. Cut the onion into several large pieces. Bring a few cups of water to a boil and add the tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and garlic. Simmer until the tomatillos turn from bright green to dull, 10 to 15 minutes; then drain. Transfer vegetables to a food processor or blender, add the cilantro, and puree. Stir in the optional oil, lime zest and juice. Season with salt to taste. 3. Arrange the potatoes on a platter or in a shallow bowl. Slice the eggs and intersperse them with the potatoes. Ladle the sauce over all. Garnish with the radishes and cilantro sprigs. Suggestion: For a hotter sauce, reserve half the garlic and jalapenos, then add them, uncooked, to the tomatillos as they are being pureed. From "The Savory Way," by Deborah Madison.
