Instructions
- *Please note that quantities are approximate. But a lot of fresh herbs is nice, and tougher herbs like rosemary should be chopped finely.
- Do not use very small baby potatoes: slightly smaller than a golf ball is about right.
- Rinse; do not peel. Cut each in half.
- Boil in lightly salted water until just tender -- this should not take more than 4 to 6 minutes depending on size and type of potato, but do test one with a skewer. They should still be firm and not fall apart!
- Rinse and chop the herbs, which must be fresh, not dried.
- Drain potatoes, put into suitable dish, add the olive oil and toss until well coated. A high quality, nice and fruity virgin oil should be used. Use more if you like.
- Add the chopped herbs and pepper, and toss again, until mixed through. Take care not to break the halved potatoes.
- Best salted at table, with flakes of Maldon salt. This is not always easy to obtain, so just use -- salt!
- These potatoes are quite nice when cold, too.
