Notes

When cooking the potatoes it's important to regulate the heat and insure that the potatoes are cooked through but not overcooked.
The cooking times and amount of water to be used are based on my cooking utensils and stove. Since yours may be different you may need to control the cooking temperature to get perfect results.
Similarly, I usually keep the level of salt and chilies in my recipes at a medium level to accommodate different taste buds. Please adjust if necessary.
