INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds small red potatoes
  • 1 red onion, peeled and cut into thick slices
  • 1 tablespoon McCormick® Coriander Seeds
  • 8 McCormick® Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tablespoon McCormick® Oregano Leaves
  • 2 serrano or jalapeno chiles, minced
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked until crisp, and coarsely chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, thick stems discarded, and coarsely chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Black Pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook potatoes in boiling water 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Drain and cool to room temperature. Quarter the potatoes and set aside.
  2. Grill the onion slices over high heat until lightly caramelized.
  3. In a hot, dry skillet, toast the coriander and cumin seeds until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add oregano and lightly toast for about 20 seconds, watching for burning. Remove spices from skillet immediately.
  4. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and lightly toss.

My family loved this potato salad. At first I was worried that it would be too spicy, but it ended up not being hot at all -- just full of flavor.

I omitted the bacon and used 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin instead of the seeds. Also used 2 large peppers. It had a nice zip to it, but not overly spicy. My only complaint is that I found it a tad bit dry. Perhaps I'll add some chicken broth next time to give it a little moisture.

Tremendous salad! Looks beautiful and gourmet. Tastes gourmet. You are going to have to like cilantro, cumin and coriander in order to like this recipe. Instead of grilling the red onion, I just put the thick slices in a skillet and let them char and carmelize. That was the first thing that my husband noticed and loved -- and he doesn't like onions. Can't wait to make this again for company.
