Steps:
- Arrange the potato slices on a large plate. Cook in microwave on High until tender about 3 minutes.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with the salt and pepper, and cook in the hot oil until golden on both sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Stir the mango, onion, chives, tomato, red chile pepper, garlic, and lime juice together in a bowl.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your dish.
- Sear the scallops quickly over high heat to get a golden brown crust. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the scallops. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a light touch when stirring the mango salsa. You don't want to break up the mango pieces too much.
- Serve the scallops and mango salsa immediately after cooking. This will ensure that they are at their best.
