Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 6 stalks spring onions
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris. If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the baby potatoes and cook them for 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the spring onions, separating the white and green parts. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the white parts of the spring onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until lightly softened.
Add the cooked, drained potatoes to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them in the oil and butter mixture, and let them brown slightly by cooking undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes.
Add the green parts of the spring onions, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and season with black pepper to taste. Toss everything together for another 1-2 minutes until well combined.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed. Remove from heat.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
