Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized halves or quarters, depending on the size.
Place the potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the shallots and set aside. Chop the fresh parsley and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes, cut-side down, and cook for 6-8 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the minced shallots and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and caramelize.
Add the minced garlic to the shallots and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Turn off the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir in the chopped parsley, letting the butter melt and coat the potatoes and shallots evenly.
Season the dish with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
