Ingredients
  • 3 pounds fingerling potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
  1. Cut the fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise, and place them in a large pot with 1 tablespoon of salt. Cover the potatoes with cold water.
  2. Place the pot on the stove over high heat. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook the potatoes for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the potatoes.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the smashed garlic cloves, and take the butter off the heat. Let the garlic cloves sit in the hot butter for at least 10 minutes to impart garlic flavor.
  5. When the potatoes are cooked through, drain the potatoes well, and pour them back into the pot.
  6. Remove the garlic cloves from the butter, and pour the butter over the top of the potatoes.
  7. Add 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and the parsley, and toss the potatoes gently with a spatula to coat, then serve.
