Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Instructions
Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added flavor and texture.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the parsley and set them both aside.
In a large pot, add 8 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the baby red potatoes to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot (off the heat) to allow any excess water to evaporate.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Pour the melted garlic butter over the drained potatoes. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, thyme, and ground black pepper over the potatoes. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Transfer the buttery red potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor.
