Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Thoroughly rinse the baby potatoes under cold water. Leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium. Let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the parsley, dill, and chives. Set them aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them sit in the colander for a few minutes to dry slightly.
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped parsley, dill, chives, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine.
Return the potatoes to the pot and gently toss them in the herbed butter mixture until they are evenly coated.
Season the potatoes with freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional salt.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra herbs if desired. Serve warm.
