As you know, Aunt Ky likes all things spicy, and when she goes to a restaurant and likes a dish, she soon starts trying to replicate it. This is Aunt Ky’s version of Abuelo’s potatoes without bell peppers and onions. When making it, she uses whatever pepper is in season, usually poblanos (or the hottest she can find). Don’t forget that you can always adjust the heat by changing your peppers; Aunt Ky has to tone down the heat when she serves the whole family.
