Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller potatoes whole.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with enough water to submerge them completely. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-high and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the unsalted butter to the warm potatoes and toss gently until the butter is melted and evenly coats the potatoes.
Sprinkle the potatoes with garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika (if using), and toss well to combine.
Add the chopped parsley to the seasoned potatoes and gently stir until the parsley is evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm as a side dish.
