Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams Baby potatoes (or small Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 30 grams Fresh parsley leaves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1 medium Lemon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut the larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Leave the smaller ones whole.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add about 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender but not overly soft. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the parsley and mince the garlic cloves. Set them aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Toss them gently in the garlic oil to coat evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter. Add the chopped parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or black pepper, if desired.
Transfer the garlic and parsley potatoes to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if using.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish. Enjoy!
