take out the seeds. Cut the onion into several large pieces. Bring a few
cups of water to a boil and add the tomatillos, jalapenos, onion and
garlic. Simmer until the tomatillos turn from bright green to dull, 10 to
15 minutes; then drain. Transfer vegetables to a food processor or blender,
add the cilantro, and puree. Stir in the optional oil, lime zest and juice.
Season with salt to taste.

and intersperse them with the potatoes. Ladle the sauce over all. Garnish
with the radishes and cilantro sprigs.
Suggestion: For a hotter sauce, reserve half the garlic and jalapenos, then
