Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
How to Make Herb-Seasoned Baby Potatoes
- Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can leave the skin on for extra flavor.
- In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the herb dressing. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Transfer the warm potatoes to a mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the potatoes and toss gently to coat.
- Add the chopped parsley, chives, and dill (if using) to the potatoes. Toss again to distribute the herbs evenly.
- Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For a creamier texture, you can lightly smash the potatoes after boiling before tossing them with the herbs.
- Make sure to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving to ensure the best flavor.
- Use fresh herbs for a more vibrant taste; dried herbs won’t provide the same freshness.
Easy Variations
- Substitute the herbs with your favorites, such as basil or rosemary, for a different flavor profile.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a refreshing citrus note.
- Mix in some grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy twist.
What to Serve With It
- Grilled chicken or steak for a hearty meal.
- Roasted vegetables for a vegetarian option.
- Fish fillets, such as salmon or tilapia, for a light dinner.
- A fresh green salad to complement the potatoes.
