Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for flavor and texture.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the teaspoon of salt and the whole new potatoes to the pot.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them as you want them to hold their shape.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and allow them to cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, black pepper, and additional salt to taste over the potatoes. Stir gently to combine.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
