Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 0.5 cup Green onions, thinly sliced
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by scrubbing the Yukon Gold potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture, or peel them if desired.

Step 2

Cut the potatoes into even 1-inch chunks to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 3

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook.

Step 4

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 5

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Set aside.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Place the pot on low heat for 1-2 minutes to remove any excess moisture from the potatoes.

Step 7

Pour the melted garlic butter over the potatoes and gently toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 8

Add the thinly sliced green onions and sprinkle the black pepper over the potatoes. Toss again to combine.

Step 9

Taste the potatoes and add more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
