Equipment
- 1 Pot
- 1 Colander
- 1 Knife
- 1 Cutting Board
- 1 Potato Masher
- 1 Saucepan
Ingredients
- 3 pounds fingerling potatoes
- 1 tablespoon + 1 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves peeled and smashed
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Long wise cut the fingerling potatoes in half and put them in a big pot with 1 tablespoon of salt. Pour cold water over the potatoes to cover.
- Heat the saucepan to a high temperature on the stove. The potatoes should be cooked for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce them, after the water has been brought to a boil and then reduced to a simmer.
- Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat while the potatoes are cooking.
- Turn off the heat and add the crushed garlic cloves to the butter. For optimal flavoring, allow the garlic cloves to steep in the heated butter for a minimum of 10 minutes.
- After the potatoes are cooked completely, carefully drain and then return them to the pot.
- Take out the garlic cloves from the butter and then drizzle the butter over the potatoes.
- Serve the potatoes after tossing them lightly with a spatula to coat them with the 1 ½ tablespoons of salt and parsley.
Notes
- Add ½ teaspoon of garlic powder to the butter and parsley combination for a hint of garlic flavor.
- Keep leftovers chilled for three to four days by storing them in an airtight container.
