Tangy Lemon-Cumin Potato Bites

1. Prepare Potatoes

Boil the 7 medium-sized potatoes and cool them for at least 2 hours. This cooling time is crucial as it firms up the potatoes, making them easier to handle and preventing them from becoming mushy when mixed with the seasonings.

2. Peel and Dice Potatoes

Peel the boiled and cooled potatoes. Dice them into bite-sized pieces.

3. Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes with 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 2 to 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 2 teaspoons of ground roasted cumin, 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper, and 0.25 to 0.5 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped Chinese parsley (coriander greens or cilantro).

4. Adjust Seasoning

Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and lemon juice as needed to suit your palate. This step is important because it allows you to tailor the seasoning to your liking, ensuring the perfect balance of saltiness and tanginess.

5. Serve

Once satisfied with the seasoning, transfer the potato bites to a platter. Serve immediately with toothpicks for easy snacking.
