Garlic Butter Baby Potatoes with Parsley are a simple yet flavorful side dish made with tender boiled baby potatoes tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce and finished with fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved if large
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil for extra richness

Instructions

  1. Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
  2. Boil for 12–15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them in the garlic butter.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to slightly crisp the outside.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
  7. Serve warm as a side dish.

Notes

  • Use golden baby potatoes for a creamy texture and rich flavor.
  • You can finish with a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
  • For crispy edges, roast the boiled potatoes in the oven after tossing with garlic butter.
