• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.

Drain the potatoes and set them aside in a colander while preparing the butter and parsley.

In the same pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped parsley, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the black pepper to the butter mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Gently return the cooked potatoes to the pot, tossing them in the butter and parsley mixture until evenly coated.
