Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Potatoes (Yukon Gold or Red)
- 75 grams Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced, optional)
Instructions
Wash and peel (if desired) the potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches thick.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them completely. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander and set them aside for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.
In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. If using minced garlic, add it to the melted butter and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot and gently toss them to coat evenly with the melted butter.
Season the potatoes with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the ground black pepper. Toss lightly to combine.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes and give them one final gentle mix.
Serve the buttered potatoes warm as a side dish for your favorite mains. Enjoy!
