D.B.'S CILANTRO POTATO SALAD image

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds red potatoes, with skins
2 cups mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
Juice of ½ lemon (use a juicer and a lemon at room temp to get a good amount of juice)
1 ¼ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

Do not peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into 1 inch pieces. Put them in a large pot and add cold water, until the potatoes are just covered. Cover the pot with a lid, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Over medium heat, this can take about 20-25 minutes. While potatoes are boiling: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream, until well blended. Add the Old Bay Seasoning and mix well. Add the lemon juice, and mix quickly and thoroughly, so the mixture doesn't curdle. Set the mayonnaise mixture aside. As soon as water boils, remove the lid and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Simmer the potatoes until they are very soft, about 15-20 more minutes. Drain potatoes and let them cool for several minutes, then add them to the mayonnaise mixture, and mix well. Add the chopped Cilantro and mix. Serve warm, or chill in the refrigerator.
