Set a pot of water to boil. Mean while scrub and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes.

Ask a question about this stepWhile the potatoes are boiling make the guacamole. In a mixing bowl scoop out the flesh of the avocado. Dice the onion, garlic and red bell pepper into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Chop the cilantro and add it as well. Juice the limes into the bowl and start smashing up the mixture ... I like my guacamole chunky but smash until you reach your desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.

If you have a comal this would definitely be a safer way to go ... frying pans work to ... they just aren't as fun :P

Yum. I was a vegetarian for 7 years, and during that time my grandma used to make a small batch of special meatless tamales for me at the holidays, stuffed with cubes of potato, caramelized onion, chile peppers and cheese. Even though I have been an omnivore again for years, I still love that combination of flavors.
