Categories     Potatoes

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 lb potatoes, cubed in 3/4" pieces
1/4 c cilantro, fresh, chopped
1 Tbsp garlic, grated on a microplane or minced finely
2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh. may substitute 1 tsp lemon pepper.
salt & pepper to taste
3-4 c cooking oil (traditionally olive oil is used)

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.
  • 3. Heat oil in a frypan over high heat to 350. Add potatoes and fry, stirring periodically until golden brown, 5-7 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 5. Add Cilantro, garlic and lemon to hot potatoes, Stirring to distribute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Select firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well during cooking. Avoid starchy varieties like Russets, as they tend to fall apart.
  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Scrub potatoes under cold running water to remove dirt and debris.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: Cutting the potatoes into equal-sized pieces helps them cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch cubes or wedges.
  • Soak the potatoes (optional): Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in a crispier texture. However, this step is optional and can be skipped if you're short on time.
  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly: Make sure the potatoes are completely dry before cooking, as excess moisture can prevent them from becoming crispy.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan helps distribute heat evenly and promotes a crispy exterior.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Avoid overcrowding the skillet, as this can prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly. Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking: Flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking ensures that they cook evenly and develop a golden-brown crust.
  • Add the garlic and cilantro towards the end of cooking: Adding the garlic and cilantro towards the end of cooking prevents them from burning and ensures that they retain their flavor.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: Cilantro and garlic potatoes are best served hot, straight out of the skillet, to enjoy their crispy texture and vibrant flavors.

Conclusion:

Cilantro and garlic potatoes are a versatile and flavorful side dish that can complement various main courses. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with the aromatic flavors of garlic, cilantro, and lemon. These potatoes are a perfect addition to weeknight dinners, BBQ gatherings, or holiday feasts. With a few simple ingredients and a bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your family and friends.
