Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Place the potato pieces into a large microwave-safe steam bag (commonly labeled as Zip and Steam).
Add the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into the bag. Seal the bag and shake it gently to coat the potatoes evenly in the seasoning.
Open the bag slightly according to the manufacturer's instructions to allow steam to escape.
Microwave the bag on high for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley finely.
Carefully open the steam bag (be cautious of the hot steam) and transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the potatoes and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top.
Toss everything gently to combine and serve immediately.
