Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- for boiling water
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking; leave smaller ones whole.
In a large pot, fill halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt to the boiling water.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Avoid overcooking to maintain texture.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lemon parsley dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them steam for a minute to dry slightly.
Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the lemon parsley dressing over the potatoes and toss gently to coat evenly.
Add the chopped parsley to the potatoes and toss again to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the Lemon Parsley Potatoes warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
