Delicious New Potatoes with Dill and Green Garlic Recipe Preparation time: 10 minutes Baking time: 40-50 minutes Total time: 50-60 minutes Servings: 4 In a world full of complex recipes and sophisticated ingredients, sometimes the simplest dishes bring us the greatest joy. New potatoes with dill and green garlic are a perfect example of a simple yet flavorful recipe that will transport you straight to the heart of summer, in a garden full of fresh aromas. This dish is not only easy to make but also pays homage to seasonal ingredients. A brief story about the main ingredients New potatoes are harvested early in the season, having a delicate texture and a distinct flavor. They are packed with nutrients and are an excellent source of healthy carbohydrates. Dill, with its fresh and slightly anise-like aroma, is an herb that has been used for centuries to enhance the taste of culinary dishes and add extra nutrients. Green garlic, on the other hand, is a seasonal delicacy with a milder taste than dried garlic but with an intense aroma that perfectly complements the potatoes. Ingredients - 300 g new potatoes - 1 bunch of fresh dill - 2-3 stalks of green garlic - Salt (to taste) - Pepper (to taste) - 1 teaspoon of paprika (sweet or hot, to preference) - 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil - 100 ml water - 2-3 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice Step-by-step preparation 1. Preparing the potatoes: Start by washing the new potatoes well under cold running water to remove any impurities. If they are smaller, you can leave them whole; if they are larger, cut them in half or quarters to ensure even baking. There is no need to peel them, as the skin adds a pleasant texture and nutrients. 2. Seasoning: In an oven-safe dish, add the cleaned potatoes. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over them. Then add the olive oil, lemon juice, and water. Mix the ingredients well to ensure each potato is well coated with spices and oil. 3. Initial baking: Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil to retain steam inside, helping the potatoes cook evenly. Preheat the oven to 200°C and place the dish inside. Let it bake for 30-35 minutes. 4. Adding fresh flavors: After 30-35 minutes, remove the dish from the oven and take off the lid or foil. Wash and finely chop the dill and green garlic. Add them over the baked potatoes, gently mixing to distribute the flavors. Place the dish back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to intensify and achieve a light browning. 5. Serving: Once the potatoes are well baked and the flavors have melded, remove them from the oven. Serve warm, either on their own or as a side dish alongside meat, fish, or even with vegan dishes. These potatoes can be accompanied by a fresh salad or tzatziki sauce for a pleasant contrast of flavors. Practical tips for a perfect result - Choose the right potatoes: Opt for new potatoes, which have a thin skin and a smooth texture. They are tastier and cook faster. - Dill and green garlic: Use fresh herbs for a more intense flavor. If you don’t have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but the amount will be smaller (about a teaspoon). - Vegan option: This recipe is already vegan and healthy, but you can also add vegetables like carrots or zucchini for a more diversified dish. - Storing leftovers: If you have leftover potatoes, you can keep them in the fridge to consume the next day. Reheat them in the oven or in a pan to regain their crispy texture.

I love to pair these potatoes with grilled chicken or baked fish, and for dessert, a fresh fruit salad is always welcome. Savor every bite of this simple and delicious dish that will bring you closer to nature and the beautiful memories of summer! Enjoy!
