Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture.
Cut any larger potatoes in half to make sure all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish with a lid. Add the water to help steam the potatoes during cooking.
Cover the dish with the lid (or plastic wrap if no lid is available), leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave the potatoes on high for 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through to stir them and ensure even cooking. Potatoes should be fork-tender when done.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot!). Drain any excess water if necessary.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and toss until melted and evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Gently toss to combine and coat the potatoes with the seasonings.
Serve immediately as a side dish, and enjoy!
