Ingredients per pound of potatoes (2-3 servings):
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon preserved lemon peel, minced
1 tablespoon preserved lemon juice
1 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, torn
Cover the diced potatoes by 2" cool water in a saucepan. Bring water to a simmer, uncover and continue simmering until the potatoes are cooked through, 10 - 15 minutes depending on their size. Drain the water from the pan, return the potatoes to the heat and cook over low heat, stirring to evaporate remaining water and dry the surface of the potatoes.
Stir in the preserved lemon peel and lemon juice, and mash the potatoes to your liking leaving chunks as desired. Fold in the olive oil. Off the heat, scatter on the cilantro and serve hot or warm.
