Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 30 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1000 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture.
Fill a medium-sized pot with 1000 milliliters of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the sea salt to the water.
Carefully add the new potatoes to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them sit for 1-2 minutes to release excess moisture.
Return the empty pot to the stove over low heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt gently without browning.
Add the drained potatoes back into the pot and toss them gently to coat with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, black pepper, and an additional pinch of salt (if desired) over the potatoes. Toss again to ensure even seasoning.
Transfer the parsley-coated potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish with your favorite meal.
