Red Potatoes with Purslane Recipe
Directions
  • Scrub potatoes and cut in half, if small (golf-ball to egg size), or into chunks, if larger.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in heavy skillet large enough to hold potatoes in a single layer. Add potatoes and rosemary, salt and pepper lightly, and cook without stirring for about 5 minutes, until bottoms begin to brown. Stir enough to turn potatoes, reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until tender (easily pierced with a sharp knife), stirring once or twice, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Toss cooked potatoes with lemon juice and mix in purslane. Sprinkle on lemon zest, if using, and serve warm or room temperature.
