Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or new potatoes for the best texture and flavor in this dish. Avoid using starchy potatoes, as they tend to become mushy when boiled.

• Serve the Patatas en Salsa Verde with a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt or sour cream for added richness.
• If you prefer a spicier version, add a chopped chili pepper to the salsa verde.
