Moroccan Potato Salad

Instructions

Cover potatoes with 4 or 5 cups water in a saucepan. Add salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.

Heat avocado oil in the same saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and spice blend and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, or until garlic is soft and fragrant.

Add cooked potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and toss to coat. Taste and add salt and more olive oil and/or lemon juice if needed.

To Serve

Toss the potato salad in the saucepan. Transfer to individual bowls or a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika if desired. Serve warm.
