Kingombo Patatas

Kingombo Patatas pairs tender potato cubes with okra and onion, all lightly dredged in seasoned cornmeal and pan-fried to a golden, crackly finish. The cornmeal crust keeps the okra pleasantly firm while the potatoes turn soft inside, making a savory, textural side for weeknight meals or cookouts.

Kingombo Patatas
  1. 1

    Combine the cornmeal, salt, and pepper in a large resealable plastic bag; add the potatoes, okra, and onion. Seal the bag and shake until the vegetables are coated with the cornmeal mixture.

  2. 2

    Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke. Add the vegetables to the hot oil and cook until the potatoes are tender and the okra and onion are browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate.
