easy potaotes

These potatoes are ridiculously easy and delicious. I used the milk solids that I’d skimmed from the pound of butter that I clarified for the lobster bake. Love being above using something that might have otherwise been wasted.

Herbed Boiled Potatoes

4 pounds small red and/or golden potatoes, skins on
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and finely minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Wash potatoes thoroughly. Place in a pot and cover with cold water. Season with a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to boil until tender 15-20 minutes, or just until a paring knife inserts into a potato easily. Drain.

Return to the pot and hold the lid tightly on the pan and shake a few times to fluff the potatoes. Toss with butter, parsley, and garlic.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve piping hot.
