Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
If the potatoes are larger, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking. Small potatoes can be left whole.
Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or cling film. Poke a few small holes in the cling film to allow steam to escape.
Microwave the potatoes on high power for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot) and stir the potatoes. Re-cover and microwave for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the bowl from the microwave and uncover carefully to let the steam escape.
In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the butter by heating it in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Stir in the olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the butter and herb mixture over the hot potatoes and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled fish, or a crisp salad.
