Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Scrub the red potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the potatoes and boil for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic-oil mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the potatoes to develop a slight golden crust.
Reduce the heat to low and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the potatoes. Add the lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
Serve the Lemon Red Potatoes warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
