Ingredients
- 3 pounds cubed potatoes any variety
- 1/2 cup assorted chopped fresh herbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- Zest and juice of one lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add potatoes. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Toss potatoes with herbs, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.
Notes
- My favorite potato to use in this recipe is Yukon Gold, but most any potato will work.
- Add at least a tablespoon of salt to your water. The potatoes won't be in for long and you'll want them to soak up as much flavor as possible.
- If you prefer, you can replace some or all of the olive oil with melted butter.
