Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes (or small waxy potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes to remove dirt and debris. Leave the skin on for extra texture and flavor.
In a medium-sized pot, add the water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the baby potatoes and reduce the heat to medium. Let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and lightly crush the garlic cloves to release their flavor. Set aside.
When the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the butter and crushed garlic cloves to the pot with the hot potatoes. Toss gently over low heat until the butter is melted and the potatoes are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and freshly ground black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy your Easy and Savory Boiled Potatoes as a side dish to complement any main course!
