Description
These Buttery boiled potatoes are a simple and delicious side dish or just as a scrumptious vegetable to any meal. It is one of my all-time favourite recipes, loaded with flavours and herbs!
Scale
Ingredients
- 5 lbs (2 kilograms) baby potatoes, cut into the half
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 bay leaf (optional)
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped (1 cup)
Instructions
- Wash and scrub potatoes with a clean kitchen cloth (no need to peel them) and cut these baby potatoes in halves or even into 1 ½″ thick pieces, so the potato pieces are even-sized.
- Now in a pot, add enough warm water to cover the potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 bay leaf.
- Bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer.
- Boil partially covered for about 10-15 minutes (depending on size) until potatoes are tender.
- Drain the water of potatoes.
- Add potatoes in a large mixing bowl or back to the pot.
- Add melted butter and toss to coat well
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste. Mix it thoroughly.
- Garnish with a fresh chopped parsley leaves and toss to combine.
- Remove and serve.
Notes
- Yukon gold potatoes or Red potatoes varieties work well for this recipe, but you can use regular baby potatoes with smooth skin without any brown spots or blemishes .
- Bay leaf is totally optional but it infuses the potatoes with more flavour.
- Make sure to not overcook the potatoes or they will break and fall apart.
- There is no need to peel the potatoes. If desired, remove the skin of each potato. Cut them into halves or in small sizes or boil them whole.
- It’s easier to toss the potatoes with butter in a large mixing bowl.
- Additionally, you may sprinkle grounded black pepper or garlic powder for more flavour.
