Ingredients
- 2 pounds Red potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1-inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with water, leaving room at the top to prevent overflow. Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Carefully add the potato chunks to the boiling water. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
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 thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot while still hot.
Step 6
Add the unsalted butter to the hot potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes until the butter is completely melted and coats the potatoes evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the potatoes with the chopped parsley, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently to combine and evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve the parsley red potatoes warm as a side dish for your favorite main course.
