Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1smallLemon
1cupFlat-leaf parsley leaves; loosely packed
1mediumGarlic clove
2poundsSmall red potatoes; unpeeled and quartered
½cupHeavy cream
1Stick unsalted butter; room temperature
1teaspoonKosher salt

Directions

1) Using a sharp vegetable peeler, cut away the zest of the lemon in strips, taking care not to include any of the bitter white pith. On a cutting board finely chop the zest with the parsley and garlic. 2) Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to moderately high and cook the potatoes until tender, approximately 15 minutes. 3) Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the sauce pan. Using a potato masher, mash potatoes over a very low heat, gradually incorporating the heavy cream and the butter. Stir in the salt and the gremolada and serve immediately.
