Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red bliss potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups water
Instructions
Wash the red bliss potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, and leave smaller ones whole.
Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water and carefully place the potatoes into the pot.
Boil the potatoes for 15-18 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Avoid overcooking to prevent them from becoming mushy.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely mince 2 cloves of garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and set them aside to cool slightly.
In the same pot or a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot or skillet with the melted butter and garlic. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly in the butter mixture.
Season the potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, then sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, herbaceous finish.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
Transfer the buttery red bliss potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy them warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
