Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds small new potatoes
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with enough cold water to submerge them by about 1 inch. Add the sea salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the sour cream dressing. In a small bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sour cream, chopped dill, chopped parsley, black pepper, and minced garlic. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer the warm potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour the sour cream dressing over the potatoes, gently tossing until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.

Step 8

Garnish with additional chopped dill or parsley, if desired, and serve the Mediterranean Diet Boiled Potatoes with Sour Cream warm or at room temperature.
