Ingredients
- new Danish potatoes (Soloist variety) - 1 kg (about 1 kg, mixed sizes between 10 and 40 mm)
- water - 2-3 liters (enough to cover potatoes in pot, approximately 2-3 liters)
- salt - 2 teaspoons (about 1 tablespoon per liter of water, approximately 2 teaspoons for 2 liters)
- lovage - watch the video to see (fresh or dried, can substitute with thyme, parsley, dill, or bay leaves)
Instructions
- Wash the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a salad spinner or bowl with cold water. Rub and stir them gently to remove soil and dirt. Change the water if needed until potatoes are clean.
- Prepare Potatoes for Cooking: Add the cleaned potatoes to a pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring all potatoes are submerged.
- Add Salt and Herbs: Add approximately 2 teaspoons of salt for 2 liters of water. Add lovage or your choice of herbs such as thyme, parsley, dill, or bay leaves.
- Cook the Potatoes: Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer the potatoes with the lid on for 7 minutes.
- Let Potatoes Rest: Turn off the heat and let the potatoes rest in the hot water with the lid on for an additional 7 minutes.
- Drain and Steam: Drain the potatoes just before serving and let them steam for 2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture, making them denser.
- Serve: Serve the potatoes with butter or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. No additional salt is needed as the potatoes are already salted.
