INSTRUCTIONS

1 Pierce potatoes with a fork. Place in microwavable bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH 5 to 6 minutes or until fork tender. Cool potatoes slightly.
2 Meanwhile, mix spices and salt in small bowl; set aside. Place cilantro, mayonnaise, jalapeño peppers, water, lime juice and 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture in blender container; cover. Blend on high speed until smooth. Cover. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Test Kitchen Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak thoroughly in water for at least 30 minutes before threading with steak and potatoes. This prevents them from burning when on the grill.
