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.
