ingredients
1½ lb - small red new potatoes

1 - shallot

4 tablespoons - light mayonnaise

2 teaspoons - lime juice

1 teaspoon - smoked sweet paprika

2 teaspoons - olive oil

1 clove - garlic

  - salt and pepper

1 tablespoon - chopped fresh coriander

directions
  1. Wash (and scrub if necessary) the potatoes. Place them in a large saucepan and cover by 2" (5cm) with cold salted water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife (about 15 to 20 minutes).
  2. Meanwhile, peel and crush (mince) the garlic clove and peel and chop the shallot. Whisk together the mayonnaise, shallot, lime juice and paprika in a bowl. Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and add the crushed garlic. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant, then set aside.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them sit for 3 to 4 minutes until cool enough to handle but still very warm. Cut the potatoes into wedges and add to the mayonnaise mixture. Toss to combine, season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper and drizzle with the olive oil and garlic mixture. Sprinkle with the coriander and serve warm or at room temperature.
