Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Fingerling potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Creme fraiche
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Rinse the fingerling potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins intact for added flavor and texture.
Add 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a large steamer pot or a pot fitted with a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Place the fingerling potatoes in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded, then cover the pot with a lid.
Steam the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. You can test doneness by piercing the largest potato with a fork; it should glide in easily.
While the potatoes are steaming, finely chop the fresh chives and parsley. Set them aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the creme fraiche, chopped chives, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the steamer and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
Serve the steamed potatoes warm with the creme fraiche mixture on the side or dolloped on top.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
