    Ingredients

    • 1 pound red potatoes
    • ⅓ cup olive oil
    • 4 garlic cloves , minced
    • ½ bunch cilantro , fresh, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice , freshly squeezed
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • black pepper

    Instructions 

    • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add potatoes and boil until potatoes are cooked: soft and tender, about 15-20 minutes. Make sure to boil potatoes so that they are not too soft and don't fall apart.
    • In the mean time, in the small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well.
    • When potatoes are cooked, drain water from the pan and let the potatoes cool down a bit (or, rinse them quickly under cold water). Cut cooked and slightly cooled potatoes into 1 inch chunks. Place in a medium bowl, add ¼ teaspoon salt and carefully mix. Pour the cilantro-lime sauce, and carefully mix. Taste, add more salt (maybe ⅛ teaspoon more) and add pepper if desired. Also, if desired, add more freshly squeezed lime juice.

      This was easy and SO delicious. I added chopped green onions and mini sweet peppers to the mix, as I needed to use them up. Everyone loved it, and despite doubling the recipe, there was nothing left! I loved not having a heavy mayo dressing.

      Made this for my wife to take to a potluck. Reportedly, it was widely popular and the guests divvied up the scant leftovers to take home! I made it according to directions.

      What a refreshing & light side-dish during such a dark conrona virus time! I added 1 TBSP of mayonnaise just to make me feel better (because i see it as a necessary food group). outside that, the recipe was perfect. thanks for posting.

      Sounds awesome. Is it better served warm or cold?
