Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 6 cups water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt. Keep the skins on for added flavor and texture.
In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.
Carefully add the baby potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lemon-herb dressing. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, and 2 tablespoons of chopped dill. Mix well.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the lemon-herb dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to coat evenly.
Season with additional salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to taste.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish. Enjoy!
