Ingredients

• 1 pound new potatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry. Leave the skins on for extra flavor and texture.

Step 2

Cut any larger potatoes in half to make sure all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish with a lid. Add the water to help steam the potatoes during cooking.

Step 4

Cover the dish with the lid (or plastic wrap if no lid is available), leaving a small vent for steam to escape.

Step 5

Microwave the potatoes on high for 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through to stir them and ensure even cooking. Potatoes should be fork-tender when done.

Step 6

While the potatoes cook, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Step 7

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave (it will be hot!). Drain any excess water if necessary.

Step 8

Add the butter to the hot potatoes and toss until melted and evenly coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Gently toss to combine and coat the potatoes with the seasonings.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish, and enjoy!
