Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under running water with a brush or sponge (red potatoes were used in the recipe). You can peel the potato skins if you wish. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add cold water and place over high heat. After boiling, salt the water in the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook under a closed lid for about 20 minutes. You can check the readiness of the potatoes using a toothpick. Drain the water.

Step 2

Step 2
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare a flavorful dressing. Cut the shallots into thin half rings, feathers or small cubes.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the shallots in a small plate and squeeze in a few drops of lime or lemon. Stir and leave to marinate for a while.

Step 4

Step 4
Chop the greens as finely as possible. The recipe used parsley and thyme. Basil, oregano or herbes de Provence go very well with potatoes.

Step 5

Step 5
Pass the garlic through a garlic press. Place the herbs, garlic, salt and allspice in a mortar and grind with a pestle. Add olive oil or regular vegetable oil, mix everything until smooth.

Step 6

Step 6
Add onion, mustard and herb dressing to the pot with potatoes.

Step 7

Step 7
Cover the pan with a lid. Holding the handles and lid (you can use a kitchen towel to avoid getting burned), shake lightly, then turn the pan upside down and the lid up again. This way, the marinade and herbs will be distributed as evenly as possible over the potatoes, saturating them with aromas and unsurpassed taste.
