Ingredients
- 2 pounds Baby red potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added flavor and texture.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Chop the parsley and set them both aside.
Step 3
In a large pot, add 8 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Step 4
Once the water is boiling, add the baby red potatoes to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium-high and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot (off the heat) to allow any excess water to evaporate.
Step 6
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 7
Pour the melted garlic butter over the drained potatoes. Gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, thyme, and ground black pepper over the potatoes. Taste and add more salt if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the buttery red potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor.
