Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

3 pounds very small red potatoes
5 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Peel a wide strip from around the middle of each potato. In a kettle combine potatoes and garlic with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches and boil until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain mixture. Transfer potatoes to a bowl and transfer garlic to a blender. Add to blender lemon juice, oil, and salt and pepper to taste and purée dressing. In the bowl toss potatoes with dressing and parsley. Potatoes may be prepared 4 hours ahead and kept covered.

    Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature.
