Ingredients
- 12 baby red potatoes
- 2 ½ tablespoons salted butter reserve ½ tablespoon
- 2 tablespoon fresh flatleaf parsley chopped
- 2 large garlic cloves minced
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes, then carefully remove a wide band of skin from the middle of each potato with a paring knife. Keep the peelings to roast later. (Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings of your choice, then roast on a foil-lined pan for 30 minutes at 400°F.)
- Place the potatoes in a large Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, add one teaspoon of kosher salt, stir to dissolve, then reduce the heat and continue cooking until they are fork tender, about 11-15 minutes. Drain and place in a large bowl.
- While they are cooking, mince two large cloves of garlic and chop up the fresh parsley.
- Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and set over medium heat. Once it begins to bubble, swirl the pan and stir constantly to prevent burning. Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to cook until it's golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Pour the butter into a small bowl.
- Using the same saucepan, saute the minced garlic in ½ tablespoon of melted butter over medium high heat until fragrant, stirring constantly. Add the garlic to the browned butter.
- Drizzle the browned butter and garlic on top, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss with your hands until each potato is well coated. Serve warm.
Notes
- Test the spuds every 5 minutes when boiling this way they don't overcook.
- First, cover the spuds with cold water, then bring to a boil.
- To prevent oxidization, cover them in water.
- Don't want a pitted pot? Wait until the water is boiling to add the salt.
- If using regular sized red potatoes, double the garlic and butter.
