Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Parmesan cheese (grated)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and keep the skin on for added flavor and texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley leaves.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the boiled potatoes to the pan and toss them gently to coat with the garlic butter mixture.
Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly crispy on the outside.
Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes. For added flavor, optionally sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement your favorite main course!
