Ingredients

  • 20 pieces Cambray Potatoes (washed, small new potatoes)
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (can substitute white vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon Kosher Salt (for boiling water)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic Salt (or make with ½ tbsp salt + ½ tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika (sweet or smoked)
  • 0.5 tablespoon Dried Oregano (Mexican oregano if available)
  • 0.5 tablespoon Dried Parsley (optional, for color)
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (fresh juice of 2 green limes)

Instructions

  1. Parboil Potatoes

    Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes, add 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon kosher salt, bring to a boil over medium heat, add the 20 Cambray potatoes and cook for 15 minutes until just tender.

    Time: PT15M

  2. Cool and Halve

    Drain the potatoes, spread them on a plate and let them cool for 20 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut each potato in half lengthwise.

    Time: PT20M

  3. Measure Seasonings

    In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon garlic salt, 1 tablespoon paprika, ½ tablespoon dried oregano and ½ tablespoon dried parsley. Mix well.

    Time: PT3M

  4. Melt Butter and Oil

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, and let the butter melt completely, coating the pan.

    Time: PT3M

  5. Sauté Potatoes

    Add the halved potatoes to the skillet, cut side down. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan every few minutes so all sides become golden and slightly crisp.

    Time: PT15M

  6. Season Potatoes

    Sprinkle the prepared spice mixture over the potatoes, toss to coat evenly, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the spices are fragrant and the potatoes are nicely browned.

    Time: PT5M

  7. Finish with Lime

    Pour the juice of 2 green limes (about 2 tablespoons) over the potatoes, stir for 2 minutes to incorporate the citrus flavor.

    Time: PT2M

  8. Plate and Serve

    Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and serve hot as a side or snack. Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired.
