Directions

Step 1	Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook for 1 minute, until softened and begun to brown. Add the nopales, cooked potatoes, sprinkle the salt and stir for a couple minutes until they begin to gently brown.
Step 2	Pour the salsa verde on top, stir, and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened and seasoned. Set aside.
