Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp paprika
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 4 Tbsp warm water
- 500g boiling potatoes, sliced into even-sized pieces
- pinch salt
Instructions
- To make the salsa, crush the garlic and cumin seeds together using a mortar and pestle. When very smooth/fine, add the paprika. Then very gradually add the olive oil. When blended, add the vinegar and water. Place in a screw top jar.
- Place potatoes into a saucepan with a lid.
- Add enough cold water to just cover the potatoes. Season to taste.
- Place the lid on the saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Once the potatoes come to the boil, reduce heat and simmer gently. Vigorous boiling will cause most potatoes to break up. Drain.
- Pour salsa dressing over the warm potatoes and serve.
Option: Steam potatoes instead of boiling them. Do not season.
