CILANTRO POTATOES with garlic and lemon image

This is a Lebanese dish called coriander potatoes. They are a tasty side for grilled or roasted meats. I had these first in a Middle Eastern restaurant, and loved them so much I had to learn how to make them myself!

1/4 c cilantro, fresh, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and cube potatoes.
  • 2. Grate garlic with a microplane into a small bowl. Rinse Cilantro and dry. Chop and put with the garlic. Squeeze lemon juice into the same bowl. Set aside. I didn't have any lemons, so I used lemon pepper pictured here.

  • 4. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon to a large paper towel lined mixing bowl, briefly to drain oil. Pull paper towel out from under potatoes.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I also like to add some chopped bacon to the potatoes for extra flavor.

Overall, I thought this recipe was okay. The potatoes were cooked well, but the flavor was a bit bland. I would add more garlic and lemon next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I still enjoyed these potatoes. The garlic and lemon flavors were strong enough to balance out the cilantro.
