Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1000 grams baby potatoes
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 large, peeled and crushed garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 whole lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2000 milliliters water
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Cut larger potatoes in half to ensure they cook evenly with the smaller ones.
In a large pot, add the cleaned potatoes, rosemary, thyme, and crushed garlic cloves.
Pour 2000 milliliters of water into the pot, ensuring the potatoes are completely submerged.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Let the potatoes simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, squeeze the juice from half a lemon and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done, drain the water using a colander. Discard the rosemary and thyme sprigs, as well as the garlic cloves.
Return the potatoes to the pot and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the fresh lemon juice.
Season with 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper and gently toss the potatoes to evenly coat them with the oil, lemon juice, and pepper.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve warm.
