Garlic and herb sautéed potatoes

In HungaryPetrezselymes krumpli is one of the most popular side dishes. It’s sautéed potatoes with parsley. I normally add garlic to it, sometimes grated zest and juice of a lemon, or chilli flakes, or paprika -  depending on the main course. Besides parsley I like to make it with basil, coriander, dill, mint and chives ( again it depends on the main dish). This version of garlic and herb sautéed potatoes is my family's favourite. It's ideal for dinner parties, special lunches, as the first part can be made ahead.
