Ingredients
- 500 grams Small new potatoes
- 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 4 pieces Fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 2 pieces Clove garlic, peeled
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, ensuring all dirt is removed. Do not peel as the skin contains important nutrients.
Step 2
In a large pot, place the potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add the rosemary sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and garlic cloves to the pot.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water using a colander. Discard the herbs and garlic from the pot.
Step 6
Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the potatoes and gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top of the potatoes.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or as a heart-healthy main for a light meal.
