Recipe from RecipeTin Eats

This may seem like a pretty basic recipe but sometimes only the simplest of ingredients are required to really make a dish shine. These tender little buttery nuggets would make a wonderful side dish but you could also combine them with some of your green beans for a salad Nicoise! 

 

New potatoes

½ tbs salt , for cooking

2 tbs unsalted butter (no need to melt)

¼ tsp each salt and pepper (or more to taste)

2 tbs fresh parsley, finely chopped

 

Boil potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot of cold tap water with 1 tbs salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to medium so they're simmering gently (this stops skin splitting). Cook for 10 – 15 minutes until there's no resistance when pierced with a knife. Alternatively, steam the potatoes.

Steam dry: Drain in colander then leave for a minute to let the potatoes steam dry (if wet, butter won't stick).

Toss with butter: Transfer to a bowl, add salt, pepper and butter. Toss to melt and coat.

Add parsley just before serving. Stir through, transfer to serving bowl and serve warm!
