Light new potato salad with smoked paprika

Ingredients:

• 0.7 kg small red new potatoes, washed well with a brush
• 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
• 1 large clove of garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp finely chopped shallots
• 2 tsp lime juice
• 1 tsp smoked sweet paprika
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation:

1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold, salted water to a depth of 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 15-20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, shallot, lime juice, and paprika. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly, but still very warm, for 3-4 minutes. Slice the potatoes and add to the mayonnaise mixture. Stir, season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with the olive oil and garlic mixture. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve warm or at room temperature.
