Easy Boiled Potatoes Recipe
Boiled Potatoes are one of the easiest sides and pair well with steak, chicken, seafood and just about any main dish. Drizzling with melted butter and olive oil brings out the natural creamy and buttery flavor of new potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs small new potatoes
- 1 Tbsp salt, to salt the water
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt, or added to taste
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or added to taste
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley, optional garnish
Instructions
- Wash and scrub potatoes and cut larger potatoes in halves or even quarters so the potato pieces are even-sized.
- Place potatoes in a pot of water with 1 Tbsp salt and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork tender (10-18 minutes depending on size).
- Drain potatoes and return them to the pot, or a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle melted butter and olive oil over potatoes.
- Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Garnish with a freshly chopped parsley and toss to combine. Keep covered until ready to serve.
