Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby or small potatoes
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Optional garnish: chopped chives
Instructions
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added flavor and texture.
In a large pot, combine the potatoes with enough cold water to cover them by about an inch. Add the garlic cloves and the tablespoon of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, discarding the garlic cloves if desired, or mash the garlic into the potatoes for extra flavor.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, and black pepper. Gently toss the potatoes over low heat until they are evenly coated and the butter has melted.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Dollop sour cream over the potatoes or serve it on the side for dipping.
Optional: Garnish with chopped chives before serving for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy as a comforting and delicious side dish!
