Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Sea Salt & Herby Potatoes. It’s perfect as a side dish or snack!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (700g) baby or new potatoes (or any small waxy potatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or vegan butter for a richer flavor)
- 1 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
- Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 2-3 tbsp fresh herbs, finely chopped (such as parsley, rosemary, thyme, or chives)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and scrub the potatoes. If they’re larger, cut them in halves or quarters for even cooking.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 10-15 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender. Drain and let them sit for a minute to dry out.
- Crisp the Potatoes:
- Heat the olive oil (or vegan butter) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the potatoes, and gently press them down with a fork or potato masher to flatten slightly. This helps them get crispy edges.
- Sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder (if using), and pepper.
- Cook Until Golden:
- Cook the potatoes for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Add Herbs:
- Once the potatoes are crispy, remove from heat and toss them with the fresh herbs.
- Serve:
- Transfer the herby potatoes to a serving plate, and sprinkle with a bit more sea salt for extra flavor.
Tips:
- Keto-Friendly Adaptation: Opt for low-carb alternatives like radishes or turnips in place of potatoes.
- Extra Flavor: Add a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of vegan aioli when serving.
Enjoy your flavorful and easy sea salt & herby potatoes!
