Boil
potatoes: In a large saucepan, cover potatoes
with salted cold water by 1-inch and simmer,
covered, until just tender, about 15-30 minutes,
depending on size of potatoes. In a colander,
drain potatoes and rinse under cold water to
cool. With a sharp knife peel potatoes and cut
crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices. |

potatoes are boiling, prepare grill. In a small
bowl whisk together oil, salt and cumin and
brush some onto both sides of potato slices,
reserving remaining cumin oil. |

Grill slices
on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing
coals until golden brown, about 1 minute on each
side, and transfer with tongs to a platter.
Thinly slice scallion diagonally and sprinkle
over potatoes. Whisk lime juice into remaining
cumin oil with salt and pepper to taste and
drizzle over potatoes. Serve potato salad with
lime wedges and sprinkled with coriander. |
