Instructions

  1. Scrub the potatoes under cool running water, using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt.
  2. Halve any large potatoes so all pieces are a uniform size for even cooking.
  3. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water.
  4. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer gently until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes, taking care not to overcook.
  5. While the potatoes cook, finely chop garlic and fresh basil leaves. Blend together with olive oil to create a vibrant herbed oil.
  6. Once cooked through, drain potatoes thoroughly in a colander. 
  7. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the flavored oil, salt and pepper to taste. 

Notes

  • Adjust the cooking time based on the size of your potatoes.
