Ingredients

16 small new potatoes (about)
2 tblsp unsalted margarine
3 tblsp olive oil
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tblsp chopped fresh chives
1 tblsp chopped fresh basil
1 tblsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, uncovered, until tender but slightly resistant when pierced with a fork, 20 minutes. Drain well.

In a frying pan over low heat, warm the butter and olive oil. Add the lemon zest, chives, basil, parsley, potatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently, stirring to coat the potatoes on all sides with the butter mixture. Add the lemon juice, stir well and serve immediately.
