Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole Lemon, juiced and zested
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized 1-inch chunks.
Step 2
In a large pot, add the cut potatoes and cover them with 4 cups of water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Do not overcook.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and set them aside to steam dry for a few minutes.
Step 5
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the skillet, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated with the lemon-parsley mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Step 9
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with a bit of fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
