Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes you can substitute red skinned potatoes if you'd like
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 3 tbsp salted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and cut them into about 1 inch pieces. Place the potatoes in a stock pot. Cover them with cold water. Add the salt.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the potatoes to simmer in the water until they are fork-tender, about 18 - 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, place the unpeeled garlic cloves into a small skillet. Toast the garlic cloves over medium-high heat, tossing often, until the garlic is starting to brown, about 5 - 7 minutes.
  • Allow the garlic to cool a bit and then press the cloves through a garlic press into a clean bowl.
  • Melt the butter and stir it into the pressed garlic. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  • Drain the water from the cooked potatoes. Toss the potatoes with the butter, garlic and parsley mixture. Serve.
