Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 liter Water
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If they vary greatly in size, cut the larger ones into halves to ensure they cook evenly.
In a large saucepan, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic clove. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together to create the dressing.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and let them rest for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.
Transfer the hot potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes and toss again to incorporate the herbs.
Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the Lemon and Parsley Potatoes warm as a side dish alongside your favorite protein or salad.
