Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Add the garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
Turn the heat to low. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the garlic butter mixture.
Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper, stirring gently to distribute the flavor.
Cook for another 5-7 minutes on low heat, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors and develop a slight golden crisp on the edges.
Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the garlic chive red potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
