Directions

Rub the skin off the potatoes while they are still warm but not too hot to handle. Cut into chunks. Set aside.
Rub the cut side of the garlic on the inside of a large ceramic bowl. Add the lime zest, lime juice, cumin, salt, scallions and jalapeño, if using. Stir to mix. Add the mustard and mix together well.
With a whisk, beat the olive oil into the lime mixture a little at a time until the sauce has emulsified.
Add the potatoes a few at a time to the dressing in the bowl, gently tossing them as you go until the potatoes are well covered in dressing. Add the cilantro just before serving.
