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 love the smokiness that the grill adds to the potatoes. It gives them a really nice flavor.

This recipe is a great way to change up your usual grilled potato routine. The mojo verde sauce is a nice change of pace from the usual sour cream or melted butter.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover mojo verde sauce. I always make a double batch of the sauce so I can use it on other dishes throughout the week.
