Ingredients

Salt

2 pounds fingerling potatoes

2 tablespoons butter 

1 leek, halved, thoroughly washed and then sliced up to pale green part

Freshly cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil 

1 teaspoon honey 

1 tablespoon minced fresh Italian parsley 

1 lemon, zested 

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Gently poach the fingerlings for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes, cut in half and dry thoroughly.
  2. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Melt the butter, add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Saute until softened, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In the same pan, heat the olive oil. Put the fingerlings cut-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes; flip and repeat on the skin side. Add back the leeks, drizzle with the honey and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle with the parsley and lemon zest. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

This recipe was soooo good! I made it as a side with salmon and it went together perfectly! The honey and lemon paired so surprisingly perfect with the potatoes and leeks... Not too sweet, not too sour or citrusy! I'm making it again right now and will be making it in the future often. It was also really easy to make. I'd never had leeks before and this was a great recipe to use them. Also, I'd never had purple potatoes either! I would suggest to anyone on the fence about making this, especially if you've never had some of the ingredients before... TRY IT! It's delicious!
