Fingerling Potatoes with Chives and Tarragon

These herb-flecked fingerling potatoes offer a sophisticated yet simple side dish that elevates any meal. By simmering the potatoes in a flavourful emulsion of water, olive oil, and garlic, they become perfectly tender while developing a silky, savoury glaze. The addition of fresh tarragon provides a delicate aniseed note that balances the richness of the oil, while chopped chives add a mild, fresh bite.

This vegan recipe is incredibly versatile, making it an excellent accompaniment to a seasonal roast or a light spring salad. Using a non-stick frying pan ensures the potatoes maintain their shape and achieve a beautiful finish without sticking. It is a healthy, naturally gluten-free option that relies on fragrant garden herbs for maximum impact and a professional touch.
