Add diced potato to skillet with olive oil over medium heat with salt, pepper, and cumin for 8-10 minutes to soften potatoes. Turn up to high for a few minutes to brown the potato and then set aside.
Shred cheese if needed
Peel skin off blistered poblano once it has cooled. De-seed and slice vertically into long strips, then slice again horizontally into 3rds.
