Because the potatoes are cooked and served whole, be sure to select those that are similar in size to ensure they cook evenly.

　　

Ingredients

serves 20 to 25

　　10 pounds small red new potatoes

　　Coarse salt

　　1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

　　Freshly ground pepper

　　2 cups loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves

　　

Step 1

Place the unpeeled potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, and add salt. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a colander, and drain.

　　

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large serving bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss in the cilantro leaves just before serving.
