Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound small purple potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- Sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions
- Thoroughly wash potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into 1″ pieces – either halving or quartering potatoes, depending on their size.
