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.
I live in SoCal and have never heard of Jugo. Teh interwebs says it’s soy sauce + beef broth sooo… Mexico’s version of a Japanese seasoning? I’ll try it out if I see it. Thx!

I bought jalapeños yesterday. No Jugo sauce here, but I can create a substitute.

Sounds fantastic, but what’s in that sauce? I looked it up, and it’s made by Maggi, and Maggi products are not kosher. I couldn’t find a recipe to make it myself.

I believe it is soy-based. 🤔
