Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the new potatoes to remove any dirt. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half for even cooking.
In a steamer basket set over a pot of simmering water, steam the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are steaming, prepare the lemon garlic sauce. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove the sauce from the heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour the lemon garlic sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and toss lightly to combine.
Serve immediately as a warm side dish for any meal.
