- 1 medium-sized leeks (white and light green parts only)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them into thin rounds (about 3-5 mm thick).

In a large non-stick skillet or frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the leeks and garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and stir to coat them in the butter and aromatics.
Pour in the water, then cover the pan with a lid to allow the potatoes to steam. Cook for 3 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Remove the lid, stir in the parsley, and season with sea salt and black pepper to taste.
