Ingredients

• 500 grams new potatoes
• 1 whole lemon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the new potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If the potatoes are large, slice them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lemon dressing. Zest the lemon and then juice it. Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain them and return them to the pot. If using butter, add it to the hot potatoes and gently toss until melted.

Step 7

Pour the lemon dressing over the warm potatoes and toss to coat evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes and give them a final toss.

Step 9

Transfer the Lemon New Potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature as a flavorful side dish.
