Ingredients:
1. 5 pounds of red bliss potatoes
2. 2 cups of olive oil
3. 1 cup of vegetable or household oil
4. the juice of 7 to 10 limes ( don't be a slacker, juice them yourself)
5. salt and pepper to taste
6. 1 to 3 teaspoons of chicken or vegetable base ( you want the kind of base that's like a paste, you can use bouillon or powdered base, but they DO NOT give you the same effect)
7. 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
8. 1 tablespoon of cilantro don't chop it
Start a pot with potatoes, cold water and some salt, cover and boil till tender but still slice able about 25 minutes?
while the taters are boilin, get a blender, add 3/4 of the fresh lime juice, the granulated garlic, cilantro and 1/2 the base
turn on low and remove plastic stopper on the lid of the blender, turn up to medium and slowly pour in the 3 cups of oil.
Now the mixture will start to thicken, remember slowly add the oil
When the oil is added, taste it. you may want to add more base, cilantro, lime juice or salt and pepper. Your looking for a powerful lime taste but with the other ingredients added it will be limey but not to over bearing. I would think that most people will want to add more base (watch it's salty) black pepper and maybe more oil, depending on YOU.
when the potatoes can be pricked with a fork easily, they are done, you want to be able to slice 1/4 inch round slices while there still hot
layer the potatoes in a casserole dish or a platter and pour the lime mixture over the potatoes. the hot potatoes will pick up and absorb the lime dressing, so save a little prior to eating.
decorate with chopped scallions, jalapenos, bacon, just to name a few
