Ingredients

• 2 pounds Baby potatoes (red or gold)
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and pat them dry. If desired, slice larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and add the salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the baby potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-high and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them using a colander and let them sit for a minute to allow excess water to evaporate.

Step 6

In the same pot (or a large mixing bowl), add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt slightly from the residual heat of the potatoes.

Step 7

Add the cooked potatoes back to the pot, and gently toss them with the melted butter until evenly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using) over the potatoes. Gently toss again to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to preference.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement roasted meats, grilled fish, or vegetarian entrees.
