Baby Red Potatoes with Cilantro

Because the potatoes are cooked and served whole, be sure to select those that are similar in size to ensure they cook evenly.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 20 to 25

Ingredients

10 pounds small red new potatoes
Coarse salt
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, and add salt. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a colander, and drain.

    Step 2

    Place the potatoes in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss in the cilantro leaves just before serving.
