Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes or baby potatoes (scrubbed)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups fresh cilantro leaves + a few more leaves for garnish
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lime juice
1 serrano pepper (seeded and roughly minced)
2 large cloves garlic (roughly minced)
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar or honey (if not vegan, optional)

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Place on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until just fork tender (they shouldn't be 100% cooked). Remove from heat and run under cold water. Set aside to cool the rest of the way.
  • Make the mojo verde: Add all ingredients to the bowl of a small food processor. Puree. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If it seems too acid, you can add a bit of sugar or honey as noted in the ingredients to tame it. Note: I have made the sauce in my blender as well, but I find there's not quite enough sauce to blend well. Another option is to double or triple the sauce and then refrigerate the remainder for later on.
  • Grill the potatoes. Preheat your grill on medium-high, about 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the potatoes in half and place in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently.
  • Lay potatoes flat-side down on the grill. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Test with a fork to make sure they're tender. Transfer potatoes from grill back to the bowl. Pour the sauce over the top. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with additional cilantro leaves and serve.

I'm allergic to cilantro. Can I use a different herb in the sauce?

These potatoes were a bit too smoky for my taste. I think I'll grill them for less time next time.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll use less lime juice next time.

The potatoes were a bit bland. I think I'll add some more salt and pepper next time.

These potatoes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try grilling them without the olive oil next time.
