Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 pounds of baby potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup of fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • chef's knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Rinse the baby potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt.
  2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, until fork-tender.
  5. Drain the potatoes in a colander, shaking gently to remove excess water.
  6. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams.
  7. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  8. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss over medium heat for about 2 minutes to coat evenly in the butter and garlic.
  9. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes, tossing gently to combine.

Notes

Use a mix of waxy and starchy potatoes for a more complex texture and serve immediately for best flavor.
