Dill Pickle Potatoes





If you're a fan of dill pickles, you will love this recipe. It's so quick and easy to put together. Not only is it delicious, but its extremely healthy too!!
 
Studies have shown that dill has many health benefits. Dill contains components called polyacetylenes that have been shown be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, as well as have anti-inflammatory effects. It has also been used to help with insomnia. It is rich in vitamin B-Complex which is believed to help with stress and produces a calming effect.

I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my husband and I did!

You will need:

5 medium sized potatoes. (I like the yellow potatoes)

2 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Juice of one lemon

Generous amount of fresh dill, chopped

1/4 cup of chopped fresh chives

1 Teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional)

Salt to taste
 

Boil the potatoes until they are tender. Then, drain them and put them in a bowl. Now add the olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, fresh chives, cayenne pepper and salt. Mix the ingredients well until the potatoes are saturated in the oil and spices.

Serve on a plate and enjoy!!
