Ingredients

• 500 grams Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 clove Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 liter Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If they vary greatly in size, cut the larger ones into halves to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic clove. Set them aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Whisk the ingredients together to create the dressing.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and let them rest for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.

Step 7

Transfer the hot potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes and toss again to incorporate the herbs.

Step 9

Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve the Lemon and Parsley Potatoes warm as a side dish alongside your favorite protein or salad.
