Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for flavor and texture.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the teaspoon of salt and the whole new potatoes to the pot.
Step 3
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them as you want them to hold their shape.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and allow them to cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Return the potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 9
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, black pepper, and additional salt to taste over the potatoes. Stir gently to combine.
Step 10
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
