Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut the potatoes in half, or into quarters if they are larger, so all pieces are roughly equal in size for even cooking.
Preheat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat, then add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to melt and foam slightly.
Add the halved potatoes to the skillet, cut side down. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Let the potatoes cook without stirring for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the potatoes are crispy on the cut side, stir them gently. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to coat the potatoes evenly as the butter melts.
Continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and fully cooked through. You can test by piercing them with a fork—it should slide in easily.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes. Toss gently to distribute.
Transfer the buttery garlic potatoes to a serving bowl and serve them immediately as a delicious side dish.
