In a medium-sized pot, add the water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely mince the garlic cloves and parsley and set them aside.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and let them sit for a minute to release any excess moisture.
Transfer the drained potatoes to a serving bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle the minced garlic and parsley over the potatoes. Give them a light toss to evenly distribute the aromatics.
Serve the Dalmatian Boiled Potatoes warm as a rustic side dish to complement fish, grilled meat, or any Mediterranean-inspired main course.
