Here’s a recipe for mojo-infused potatoes, inspired by the flavors of Cuban mojo sauce:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lime zest and juice, orange zest and juice, ground cumin, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the halved or quartered baby potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the mojo marinade.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Stir the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Garnish the mojo-infused potatoes with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired, and serve hot as a flavorful side dish.
