Looking at the recipe, I already knew it would be way too spicy for me so I used only 1/4 of the suggested cayenne pepper. This made the spiciness perfect for me. I also cut down the amount of lime. I used gold potatoes, boiled them in salt water till soft and then combined with the onion spice mixture and cooked them for 5-10 minutes more with a little extra veggie broth till they were super fluffy and extra delicious! Disregarding the spice level, overall, good dish. Very flavorful and smells great! I definitely make again.Reply

I made it for dinner today and we didn't have any leftovers. I have to disagree with those who thought it was too spicy.It was just right for our taste. I followed the recipe exactly and only substituted lemon juice for lime juice. It is a nice side dish or a vegetarian entree. Will make it again,only double the recipe.Thank you.1Reply
