Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes (or Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups Water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, add the water and bring it to a boil. Add the potatoes along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and set them aside in a colander while preparing the butter and parsley.
In the same pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the chopped parsley, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the black pepper to the butter mixture. Stir well to combine.
Gently return the cooked potatoes to the pot, tossing them in the butter and parsley mixture until evenly coated.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
