Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Small new potatoes
- 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 pieces Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 2 pieces Clove garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, ensuring all dirt is removed. Do not peel as the skin contains important nutrients.
In a large pot, place the potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add the rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and garlic cloves to the pot.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water using a colander. Discard the herbs and garlic from the pot.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top of the potatoes.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a heart-healthy main for a light meal.
