Ingredients
- 500 g New potatoes
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 100 ml Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the new potatoes to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on, as they contribute to the flavor and texture of the dish.
Step 2
In a medium-sized pot, add the water and salt.
Step 3
Place the clean new potatoes in the pot. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 4
Steam the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Make sure the water does not evaporate completely; add a little more water if needed during the cooking process.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain any remaining liquid from the pot.
Step 6
Lower the heat to the lowest setting and add the unsalted butter to the pot. Gently toss the potatoes in the melted butter to coat them evenly. Be careful not to break the potatoes.
Step 7
Transfer the buttered potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish to accompany fish, meat, or an assortment of Scandinavian dishes.
