This recipe proves that you don’t need butter, mayonnaise or oily dressings to make potatoes taste wonderful. These potatoes are also nice served hot. Jersey Royals are superb when they are available, but any new potatoes are delicious.

ingredients

681 g/1.5 lb baby new potatoes, Jersey Royals if possible
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped chives
freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon
salt and freshly ground black pepper

method

1. Wash the potatoes. Cut any of the larger ones as necessary to make them all about the same size. Put into a saucepan, cover with boiling water from the kettle and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer gently until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a sharp knife – this takes about 15–20 minutes. Drain well and put the potatoes into a bowl.

2. Add the mint, parsley, chives and lemon juice to the potatoes, and season to taste. Stir gently. Serve at room temperature.
