Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by scrubbing the Yukon Gold potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture, or peel them if desired.
Cut the potatoes into even 1-inch chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Place the pot on low heat for 1-2 minutes to remove any excess moisture from the potatoes.
Pour the melted garlic butter over the potatoes and gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Add the thinly sliced green onions and sprinkle the black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to combine.
Taste the potatoes and add more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
