Excellent new version
I've mad etihs, and it has been a big hit for Thanksgiving. I double the amount of sauce, but my potatoes are pretty large. The star anise makes the dish.

Can you really mean 2" thick rounds? The picture looks like they are less than 1/4" thick.

Hi Katie -

Yes, the recipe was prepared as written with 2" thick rounds. This recipe is posted with permission from Gonzalo Guzman from his cookbook,“Nopalito: A Mexican Kitchen," as part of our Cookbook Club.
