Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. There is no need to peel them as the skin adds texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them completely.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and allow the potatoes to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, setting them aside for later use.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and transfer them back to the pot.
Add the olive oil and lemon juice to the hot potatoes, tossing them gently to ensure they are well-coated. This step should be done while the potatoes are still warm to allow them to absorb the flavors.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill over the potatoes, followed by the black pepper.
Gently toss everything together again to distribute the herbs evenly throughout the potatoes.
Serve immediately while warm, as a delightful side dish alongside meat or fish, or enjoy on their own.
