Step 1
Season the 1.5 lb chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2
Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the 1 sliced onion and 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook over medium heat until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 2 cups tomato sauce, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Step 5
Add the 1 lb cubed potatoes and return the chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 6
Uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Step 7
Garnish with the 0.25 cup chopped cilantro and serve hot.
