How To Make cilantro potatoes with garlic and lemon
-
Step 1Peel and cube potatoes.

Step 2Grate garlic with a microplane into a small bowl. Rinse Cilantro and dry. Chop and put with the garlic. Squeeze lemon juice into the same bowl. Set aside. I didn't have any lemons, so I used lemon pepper pictured here.

Step 3Heat oil in a frypan over high heat to 350. Add potatoes and fry, stirring periodically until golden brown, 5-7 minutes. -
Step 4Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon to a large paper towel lined mixing bowl, briefly to drain oil. Pull paper towel out from under potatoes.
