What Makes This Recipe So Good
- Creamy and perfectly seasoned, these garlic butter potatoes are a serious upgrade to your usual potato salad.
- These potatoes are a fabulous side with steak, bratwursts and sauerkraut, meatloaf, and other hearty dinners.
- They require just five ingredients! Potatoes, butter, garlic, parsley, and a dash of salt is all you’ll need to throw together this tasty side dish.
Key Ingredients
Baby Potatoes – Either red or yellow baby potatoes will work! This particular type of potato holds its shape after cooking, making it great for this recipe. Baby potatoes are also incredibly buttery and creamy on their own.
Garlic – Three cloves of minced garlic in this recipe contribute a ton of flavor. This entire recipe is very simple, allowing each ingredient to shine through. If you’re garlic-obsessed, then feel free to add an extra clove to this recipe.
Parsley – Fresh parsley brightens up this savory side dish. Remove parsley leaves from their stem and chop into small pieces before using in this garlic butter parsley potatoes recipe. You can even chop some extra fresh parsley for sprinkling on top of your finished dish!
Chef’s Tips
- To make these potatoes vegan, then sub out the butter for a vegan, plant-based butter.
- Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes after boiling and draining before adding back into the pan with the other ingredients – this will help them hold their shape!
- The potatoes are tender when a fork inserted through the center of one slices through easily. If you cannot easily puncture the potatoes, then they are not done cooking and need to be left to boil for a few more minutes.
