Buttery Boiled Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes , chopped or use mini/fingerling
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt , plus more for boiling the potatoes
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat slightly and simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes (time will depend on size of potatoes).
- Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add butter, salt and pepper and stir gently until the potatoes are covered with butter.
- Serve immediately, with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
NOTES:
- Gold/yellow/Yukon potatoes are my favorite variety for this recipe but any will do.
- For everyday meals I use regular potatoes, but when I want the dish to look a little nicer I'll use mini or fingerling potatoes.
