Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby potatoes (red or gold)
- 1 tablespoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and pat them dry. If desired, slice larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water and add the salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the baby potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them using a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess water to evaporate.
In the same pot (or a large mixing bowl), add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt slightly from the residual heat of the potatoes.
Add the cooked potatoes back to the pot, and gently toss them with the melted butter until evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) over the potatoes. Gently toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to preference.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled fish, or vegetarian entrees.
