My take on it.

• I feel potatoes are gods gift to vegetarians. Whenever I am in a dilemma I just boil the potatoes and make this. My daughter loves this and so do I. In fact I rarely know anyone who doesn't like potatoes..

• It’s easy to make and tastes delicious. You can make it spicy if you like spicy food and the cilantro is optional. I just love the flavor of  fresh cilantro.

• As a variation you can also add olive oil.
