Lemon Potato Recipe
































Preparation:


1. Wash the potatoes and cut into bite sized chunks.
2. Add potatoes to a pot and cover with cold water and boil until cooked through. Alternatively, do as I do, and use the microwave to speed things up. For this I boil the kettle and place the potatoes and boiling water and microwave until cooked.
3. Drain the potatoes in a colander.
4. In a bowl add the potatoes, spring onions and dill.
5. In a jug combine the olive oil, lemon juice, grated garlic and salt and pepper and whisk to combine well.
6. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and toss in the dressing well.
