Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb baby potatoes, halved if large
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  1. 1Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water, add half the salt, and bring to a boil.
  2. 2Reduce to a steady simmer and cook 12–15 minutes until a knife slides easily into the centers.
  3. 3Drain well, return the potatoes to the warm pan, and let surface moisture steam off for 1 minute.
  4. 4Add butter and garlic and toss over low heat for 1 minute until the butter coats the potatoes and the garlic smells fragrant.
  5. 5Remove from heat, fold in parsley, lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper, then serve warm.

💡 Let the drained potatoes steam dry before adding butter; a wet surface dilutes the coating and keeps the parsley from clinging.
