Garlic Butter Red Potatoes is an easy veggie dish with only a few ingredients. Buttery tender potatoes with spices and parsley taste great!
- 1¼ pounds small red potatoes
- 2 pinches salt (added to boiling water to cook potatoes) *Used only for boiling water
- 2 Tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt + more to taste, if needed
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper + more to taste, if needed
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1½ Tablespoons fresh parsley leaves chopped, if very large
-
Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender (approx. 15 minutes for small potatoes to become tender)- your time may vary due to size of potatoes you're using. Test potatoes for doneness by inserting a butter knife into a potato (choose a bigger one). The knife should easily slide into the potato once fully cooked. Drain potatoes; slice them in half lengthwise; set aside.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet on LOW heat. Carefully add the halved, hot potatoes.
-
Season potatoes with salt, black pepper and garlic powder, to taste. Stir potatoes until coated. Taste; add more salt, pepper or garlic powder as needed to suit your taste.
-
Heat potatoes only until reheated through. Transfer hot potatoes into a serving bowl. Pour any leftover butter from the skillet over the potatoes.
-
Sprinkle fresh parsley leaves on top of the potatoes. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
