Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes (multi-colored, if available)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes well under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and color.
In a large pot, combine water and salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Carefully add the baby potatoes to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium-high to maintain a steady simmer.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. To check, use a fork to pierce a potato; it should slide in easily without resistance.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 1-2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add garlic powder and ground black pepper, stirring to combine.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot and gently toss them in the butter mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your beautiful, flavorful Boiled Baby Confetti Potatoes!
