Baby Red Potatoes With Cilantro Recipes

CILANTRO POTATOES

POTATOES WITH COENTRO (CILANTRO)

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and add water to cover generously. Add salt, turn on the heat, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain and let cool. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, peel. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add peeled potatoes and roll around to coat evenly. Cook 5 minutes until starting to brown. Sprinkle over cilantro and fresh pepper and roll around to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

BABY POTATOES WITH CUMIN

Steps:

• Set potatoes on a cookie sheet and drizzle them with just enough oil to lightly coat them, about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Toss potatoes with cumin seed and roast 20 minutes at 400 F in a hot oven, then broil 5 minutes on high to brown edges of the cut potatoes. If you are making them with the Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb, set the baking sheet with the potatoes in the oven along side the lamb on the same rack. Toss cooked potatoes with salt, to your taste, and serve.
