Steps:

• 1. Scrub the potatoes and place in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Boil until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly.

• 3. Melt the butter in a large skillet. Saute the 1/2-inch pieces of scallion, the shallots, the cumin, and the chile powder in the butter until soft, about 5 minutes.
• 4. Add the diced tomatoes and cilantro, and cook until the tomatoes are soft and fragrant. Add the tablespoon of flour and stir briefly.
• 5. Stir in the cream, anato and cheese, and heat until sauce just comes to a boil and cheese is mostly melted. Remove from heat.
