Boiled Baby Potatoes

Simple and scrumptious, boiled baby potatoes tossed with butter and fresh parsley are a classic side to go with any meal.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes approximately 1-2" in size
  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt for the water
  • 2-3 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½-1 teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced Italian parsley

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover them with water. Bring them to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and stir to dissolve into the water.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 12-15 minutes, depending on size.
  • Drain the potatoes and carefully place them in a bowl. (If you dump the potatoes into the bowl, they may break and the skins will rub off the potatoes.)
  • Drizzle generously with butter and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
