3. 3
   In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, add 1 1/2 cups of the clarified butter plus the 1/2 cup vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F on a deep-fat thermometer.
4. 4
   Add the potatoes and fry until golden, stirring them once or twice, about 12 minutes (they will lose about one-third of their volume).
5. 5
   The temperature will drop when you add the potatoes; when it returns to 350F, decrease the heat slightly.
6. 6
   Be careful not to burn the potatoes or the oilthe butter-oil mixture should show small, not large, bubbles.
7. 7
   While the potatoes fry, in a skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons clarified butter over low heat and saute the diced onion until it begins to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
8. 8
   When the onion is fully cooked, increase the heat to medium-high and cook a little more to brown the pieces.
9. 9
   When the potatoes are done, transfer them to the paper towellined bowl to drain off any excess oil.
10. 10
    When they are drained, but still hot, transfer to a serving bowl, dust with chile powder and salt, then add the cooked onions and poblano and serrano chile strips and toss to mix all together; keep warm.
11. 11
    Whisk the eggs with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter until the whites and yolks are mixed well.
12. 12
    In a large, heavy nonstick skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter, pour in the egg mixture, and cook, turning constantly with a spatula, until the eggs are just set, but still very wet, about 2 minutes.
13. 13
    Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl so they dont cook further, cover, and keep warm.
14. 14
    To serve, lay the tortillas side by side, open face and overlapping on a platter.

    Divide the potato mixture equally between the tortillas and top with scrambled eggs, chopped green onion, and crema.
