Ingredients:

1 potato
370g
1 cup water
240g
3 garlic cloves
9g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1/4 cup greek yogurt
60g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
1 tsp lemon zest
2g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
3/4 cup white beans
200g
1/4 cup onion
18g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients:
- Peel and dice the potato into bite-sized pieces.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the onion and parsley.
- Drain and rinse the white beans if using canned beans.
2. Braised Potatoes:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet.
- Pour in the cup of water and sprinkle the salt over the potatoes.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the potatoes simmer for about 20-25 minutes until they are tender and the water is mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
3. Assemble the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Once the potatoes are tender, add the chopped onion and white beans to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Add the prepared yogurt dressing to the skillet and gently mix to coat all the ingredients evenly.
5. Final Touch:
- Stir in the chopped parsley, reserving a little for garnish if desired.
- Adjust seasoning with additional salt if necessary, to taste.
6. Serve:
- Serve the braised potato salad warm or at room temperature.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley.

Tips:

- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for better texture.

- Fresh herbs add the best flavor; however, dried herbs can be used in a pinch—just remember to use less as they are more concentrated.

- For a richer taste, try substituting butter with ghee.

- Ensure the garlic is finely chopped or minced to distribute the flavor evenly.

- Adjust the salt to taste and feel free to add black pepper for an extra kick.

- To make the dish vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative and use a dairy-free yogurt option.

This braised potato salad with white beans and herbs is not only simple to prepare but also a healthy and flavorful option for any occasion.
