Lemon and herb butter new potatoes
Baby new potatoes tumbled in a warm lemon and herb butter — parsley, chives, thyme, plenty of zest. The side that quietly holds the whole table together.

Steam rather than boil — the potatoes hold their shape and the flavour concentrates.
Method
- 01
Steam or simmer the potatoes in well-salted water for 15–18 minutes, until a knife slides through easily. Drain.
- 02
Warm the butter in the pan with the lemon zest, garlic (if using) and a good pinch of salt until foaming.
- 03
Return the potatoes, toss to coat, add the lemon juice and herbs. Grind over black pepper. Tip into a serving bowl.
