5-8 cloves Fresh Garlic (crushed)
1 Lemon (juiced)
3 TB Olive Oil
1 dash Salt
What You Do:
- Cut the potatoes into small cubes - about ½ inch.
- Fry them in oil until they are golden/crispy (or alternatively bake them in the oven until they're crispy). Salt them lightly.
- Meanwhile rinse the cilantro leaves then discard the stems, and chop the leaves very finely. Lay the leaves on a paper towel for a few minutes to dry the water from them.
- In a deep frying pan, add the crushed garlic then sauté it on medium heat in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil just for a couple of minutes.
- Add a tiny pinch of salt, then add the chopped cilantro and the lemon juice to the garlic and sauté /mix them well for a minute or two.
- Finally add the fried potatoes to the pot, mix it well with the sauté and cook it for 3-5 more minutes while stirring, and you're done.
- BONUS: If you love spicy food, finely chop a bit of green jalapeno or Serrano peppers and add them during the cilantro sauté
- Serve hot or cold as an appetizer.
