What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Graze or Gobble: Jugo Baby Potatoes! The first time I encountered this amazing condiment was in a roadside Mexican restaurant. I saw regular customers splash a little on a sizzling plate of fajitas and thought to myself….sure, why not? The dark salty droplets seemed to complement the smoky charred vegetables as well as the tenderized chunks of meat. It wasn’t soy and it wasn’t balsamic or Worcestershire. Interesting. Let me tell you, once I finished my meal, I headed to the nearest Mexican market and bought myself a bottle to use in my own kitchen.
JUGO BABY POTATOES
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved, boiled, and drained
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 jalapeños, seeded and sliced
4 teaspoons Jugo* seasoning sauce
Red pepper flakes, for garnish
Instructions:
Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sliced jalapeños. Cook until tender. Add boiled potatoes and Jugo seasoning sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until potatoes are caramelized. Garnish with red pepper flakes before serving.
*I receive no recompense for mentioning Jugo seasoning sauce.
Thank you, Gail, new potatoes in any form are a wonderful treat!

If you can’t find it in the store, Mexican restaurants will usually sell you a bottle. That’s how I got my first one. ✅

It’s a saltier version of Maggi seasoning (I googled it) which I used many years ago to flavor gravy until I found out it had msg and sodium off the chart! Use with caution 🙂

Thank goodness, Judy, the current product has morphed with the times and no longer contains msg. Still, everyone should be aware of their sodium intake. I like the fact that each bottle has a narrow opening to “splash” onto foods to flavor according to personal taste. Good advice to use with caution. 👀🍃

Outside of going to the place, not really. Oh, you can hit restaurants but it’s so fleeting that you’re really not going to pick too much up that way. You can always try the Spanish stations. I used to watch the novellas with mi abuelita. It was a good brush up.
