Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb baby potatoes

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 1/2 cup La Fregona Original Mexican Streetcorn Chilito Sauce

  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup Mexican crema, for serving

  • 2 tbsp cotija cheese, crumbled

  • Lime wedges, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cook the potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water and boil for 12–15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. Brown the potatoes: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly golden on the outside.

  3. Add the Chilito: Lower the heat to medium and pour the Chilito Sauce over the potatoes. Toss gently until every potato is completely coated and the sauce begins to cling to the potatoes.

  4. Finish with lime: Add the fresh lime juice and gently toss again. Cook for another 1–2 minutes so the Chilito warms through without drying out.

  5. Garnish: Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese.

  6. Serve: Finish with Mexican crema and a squeeze of fresh lime. Serve immediately while the potatoes are warm and coated in Chilito Sauce.

TIPS

  • Want them spicier? Add extra Chilito Sauce right before serving.

  • Want them extra crispy? Roast or air-fry the potatoes before tossing them with the Chilito.

  • Want them creamy? Add a drizzle of Mexican crema over the top.

  • Want more flavor? Finish with extra lime and fresh cilantro.

  • For the best result, use small baby potatoes so they stay whole and get coated evenly with the Chilito Sauce.
