Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy. Drain and let cool slightly.
While the potatoes cook, toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Finely chop the garlic cloves and parsley. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, toasted cumin seeds, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
Add the warm potatoes to the bowl with the dressing and toss gently to coat, ensuring the dressing is evenly distributed.
Fold in the chopped garlic and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Enjoy!
