1/3 cup packed fresh coriander sprigs, washed well, spun

1 large garlic clove, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4
teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

rubber gloves)
1/4 to 1/2 cup water, if necessary

Recipe
Preheat oven to 400°F. Prick potatoes with a fork and on a foil-lined baking sheet bake in middle of oven 1 1/2 hours, or until very soft. Cool potatoes slightly and scoop flesh into a bowl.
