Since starting this site my email inbox has been absolutely flooded with submitted recipes, almost all of them wonderful and mouthwatering. Today I’m featuring a recipe we tried last night, very kindly sent in by Eleanor M.:

Lemon Basil Potatoes
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. small potatoes
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/3 cup packed chopped fresh basil leaves

Wash and quarter potatoes. In a nonstick skillet, melt butter in olive oil over medium heat. Add potato slices, and cook 6 to 7 minutes or until browned. Stir in green onions, grated lemon rind, and salt and pepper. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in basil.

Sound easy? It is. We had it as our side for dinner with roasted chicken, and it was just perfect. The potatoes absorb the tartness of the lemon, and the basil gives it just the right touch of herb. Amazing. Thank you so much, Eleanor!
