Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 unit Lime
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 6 cups Water
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
Boil 6 cups of water in a large pot. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the fresh cilantro and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet. Use a spatula to toss them in the garlic oil and allow them to crisp slightly for 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chopped cilantro, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the potatoes and give everything a final toss in the skillet.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired and serve warm.
