Steam rather than boil — the potatoes hold their shape and the flavour concentrates.

Method

  1. 01

    Steam or simmer the potatoes in well-salted water for 15–18 minutes, until a knife slides through easily. Drain.

  2. 02

    Warm the butter in the pan with the lemon zest, garlic (if using) and a good pinch of salt until foaming.

  3. 03

    Return the potatoes, toss to coat, add the lemon juice and herbs. Grind over black pepper. Tip into a serving bowl.
