Step by Step Method
Step 1
Make the sauce (mojo verde) in a food processor, process the ingredients (cilantro - cumin) until smooth, you will need to scrap the bowl occasionally.
Step 2
Make the potatoes: in a large pot cover the potatoes with about 6 cups water and then add the salt; over high heat bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the salt; reduce heat so you have a steady boil and cook for 30 minutes or until tender; drain but reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Return potatoes to pot and cook over medium high heat for 30 minutes or until all the liquid evaporates -- the potatoes will become coated with a shell of salt. Keep cooking until saucepan is dry and potatoes are covered evenly with salt and then transfer them to a large bowl and shake and toss to remove excess salt -- salt will flake off. Serve with the sauce.
