Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb new potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Scrub the new potatoes clean and slice any larger ones in half to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the lemony dressing over the hot potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Add the chopped parsley and dill to the bowl, and give everything another gentle toss.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to preference.
Serve warm as a side dish, or let the potatoes cool to room temperature and serve as a refreshing salad.
