Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and debris. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop the fresh chives and zest the lemon. Set these aside for later use.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
In the same pot (or a large pan), melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the cooked potatoes back into the pot.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently toss the potatoes in the melted butter to coat them evenly.
Add the chopped chives, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the potatoes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt if needed.
Give the potatoes a final gentle toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh chives or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Jivey Chivey New Potatoes as a delicious side dish to complement any meal.
