Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup curly leaf parsley
- 1 ½ cups almonds
- 1 piece lemon juiced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- ½ tablespoon cumin
- salt and 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 water before boiling the potatoes. This will give the potatoes a boost of flavor.
- After boiling, pat your potatoes dry with a paper towel to remove any excess water. This will ensure that the coating mixture clings to the potatoes and it does not become soggy.
- If you don’t have any baby potatoes on hand, you can use ordinary potatoes instead. Slice them into small bite-size pieces.
- Add the hot water a spoonful at a time and mix to check if the consistency is correct before adding more. You should have a thick yet spreadable mixture that cloys to the potatoes well.
