Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 10 to 15 small red potatoes
  • 8 medium garlic cloves peeled and minced
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup fresh Italian parsley coarsely chopped

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing the small red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. If they're larger, cut them in half to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
  2. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can become mushy.
  3. While the potatoes are boiling, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, just until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot. Pour the garlic butter over the hot potatoes and sprinkle with salt. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
  5. Finally, add the coarsely chopped fresh Italian parsley to the potatoes and give everything a gentle toss until the parsley is evenly distributed.
  6. Transfer the Garlic Parsley Potatoes to a serving dish and enjoy them warm. They make an excellent side dish for any meal and are sure to be a hit at your table.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Add seasonal veggies like peas or cherry tomatoes for variations.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; avoid pre-minced garlic.
