Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large microwave-safe steam cooking bag, combine the halved baby potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Seal the bag, leaving a small corner open to vent as per the bag's instructions.
Microwave on high for 7-8 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Carefully remove the bag from the microwave and let it rest for 1 minute to allow steam to escape.
Open the bag cautiously (steam will be hot) and transfer the cooked potatoes to a mixing bowl.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and toss until melted and evenly coated.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley over the potatoes, gently tossing to combine.
Serve immediately as a savory side dish, and enjoy!
