Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Red potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water, leaving room at the top to prevent overflow. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Carefully add the potato chunks to the boiling water. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot while still hot.
Add the unsalted butter to the hot potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes until the butter is completely melted and coats the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the potatoes with the chopped parsley, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently to combine and evenly distribute the seasonings.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the parsley red potatoes warm as a side dish for your favorite main course.
