Recipe by Tracey Seaman

Look for purple potatoes that are uniform in size for even cooking, and simmer them until they are barely tender for the best results.

PREP TIME

10 min

COOK TIME

30 min

Ingredients

1½ pounds medium-size purple potatoes (2-inch diameter)

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil or avocado oil

¼ cup (or more) finely chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, thyme, parsley, basil and tarragon

Directions

Place the potatoes in a single layer in a medium saucepan with cold water to cover by 1 inch. Add a few pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a knife. Drain in a colander and let cool to room temperature.

Peel the potatoes and cut into ¾-inch pieces. Transfer to a bowl, toss with the oil and herbs and salt and pepper to taste. Serve at room temperature or cover and chill up to 1 day ahead and serve cold or at room temperature.
