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!

2 lb potatoes, cubed in 3/4" pieces
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.

These potatoes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

These potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not usually a fan of cilantro, but I really enjoyed these potatoes. The lemon and garlic balanced out the cilantro flavor perfectly.

These cilantro potatoes were a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors of the garlic, lemon, and cilantro really complemented each other well, and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'll definitely be making this dish
