Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the diced potatoes and allow them to cook for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
Using the same pot, fill it with a few inches of water and bring it back to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in a steamer basket or directly in the water, cover with a lid and steam for 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, careful not to burn it.
Add the cooked potatoes and steamed broccoli to the skillet with garlic. Season with salt and black pepper, then drizzle in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and garnish with fresh parsley.
