Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 medium Red onion
• 0.5 cups Cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the red onion and chop the cilantro leaves. Slice the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds if you prefer less heat, and finely chop it.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and spread them out on a baking sheet to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the cooled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss until the potatoes are evenly coated and the ingredients are well combined.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice, salt, or pepper if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to chill before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
