Ingredients

• ▢ 750 g (1.65 lb) baby new potatoes, sliced in half
• ▢ 2 tbsp avocado oil
• ▢ 2 tbsp butter salted or unsalted
• ▢ 1 red onion peeled and thinly sliced into half moons
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
• ▢ ½ tsp salt
• ▢ ½ tsp black pepper
• ▢ 30 g (3/4 packed cup) freshly chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves
• ▢ 1 tbsp lemon juice approx. juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions 

• Place your potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil.

  750 g (1.65 lb) baby new potatoes, sliced in half

• Boil for 10 minutes until the potatoes are soft and tender but not mushy. You can test this by pushing a table knife into a potato; it should slide in easily without the potato disintegrating.

• Drain the potatoes using a colander. Leave them in the colander for a minute to release steam, so that the excess moisture evaporates.

• Take a large frying pan (skillet). Heat up the oil and butter over a medium-high heat, until the butter starts to foam.

  2 tbsp avocado oil, 2 tbsp butter

• Add the potatoes and fry for about 6-8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes until you get a light brown crust on them.

• Add in the onion and garlic and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften.

  1 red onion, 3 cloves garlic

• Add the salt and pepper. Give everything a stir and cook for one more minute, stirring a few times to prevent it sticking.

  1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper

• Turn off the heat and stir in the coriander (cilantro). Drizzle over the lemon juice, then serve.

  30 g (3/4 packed cup) freshly chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves, 1 tbsp lemon juice
