How to Make New Potatoes And Walnut Sauce

  1. Place 1 pound of small new potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water, bring to a boil, and boil until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 30 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes well and let them cool slightly.
  4. Halve or quarter the potatoes, depending on their size.
  5. Set the potatoes aside.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped shallots, cover, and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  10. Add 1/2 cup of walnut halves and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
  11. Transfer the potatoes to a large serving bowl.
  12. Add 1 tablespoon of walnut oil (optional), 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Toss gently to coat.
  13. Serve immediately.
