Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potato
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup parsley curly leaf
- 1 ½ cups almonds
- 1 piece lemon juiced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup water hot
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- ½ tablespoon cumin
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by boiling the potatoes whole. Cook until fork-tender, yet firm. When the potatoes are done, let them sit out until they hit room temperature. When at room temperature, cut them in half.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients (except the water) to the bowl of a food processor. Wiz them on high, slowly add hot water if needed to get a creamy texture. Try to break the almonds down as much as possible. This may take a full minute.
- Gently mix the parsley/almond mixture with the potatoes. Coat the potatoes well. Serve at room temperature.

Notes
- Add salt to the boiling water to enhance the potatoes' flavor as they cook.
- After boiling, pat potatoes dry to remove excess moisture so the parsley and almond sauce adheres well.
- If baby potatoes aren't available, slice regular potatoes into bite-sized pieces as a substitute.
- Add hot water gradually to the parsley and almond mixture until achieving a thick, spreadable consistency that clings to the potatoes.
