Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 1 cup (packed) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup (packed) Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup (packed) Fresh basil
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Water (for boiling potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (for boiling potatoes)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and leave their skins on.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the green sauce. In a food processor or blender, combine fresh parsley, cilantro, and basil.
Add the garlic cloves, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, capers, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to the greens.
Blend the mixture until smooth. Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and set the sauce aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and allow them to cool slightly.
Cut the potatoes in half (or quarters for larger ones) and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the green sauce over the warm potatoes and toss gently until they are evenly coated.
Serve the potatoes warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra chopped herbs if desired.
