Ingredients

  • Ingredients
    1. 2 1/4 pounds small Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
    2. 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
    3. 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    4. 1 tablespoon minced parsley
    5. 1 medium shallot, minced
    6. 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    7. Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. In a saucepan, boil the potatoes in water to cover until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, toast the mustard seeds over moderate heat until they pop, about 3 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the butter with the parsley, shallot, lemon juice and mustard seeds. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Drain and halve the potatoes lengthwise. In a large dish, toss the potatoes with the shallot butter and serve.

Make Ahead
