Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs small yellow potatoes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Scrub the potatoes clean under cool running water. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
In a large pot, add the potatoes and pour in the water, ensuring all the potatoes are fully submerged.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the water from the pot and return the potatoes to the pot over low heat to dry them slightly, stirring gently to release any excess moisture.
Add the unsalted butter to the pot and toss with the potatoes until the butter melts and coats them evenly.
Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper, stirring gently to combine.
Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes and give one final toss to distribute the herbs.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm as a hearty side dish.
