Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drain the cooked potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the lemon and garlic dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss to coat, ensuring all the potatoes are covered in the dressing.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill over the potatoes and stir gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Serve the potato salad warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
