- 2 Tbsp butter
- Salt to taste
- A pinch of parsley flakes (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The key to delicious roasted baby potatoes is selecting the right size! Opt for small, bite-sized baby potatoes. They cook evenly and are easy to handle. Prepare about 15-20 of them.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water, scrubbing away any dirt, as you’ll be cooking them with the skin on. Place the washed potatoes in a pot and cover them with water. Boil them until tender. If your potatoes are of varying sizes, it’s best to add larger ones first and boil for about 5 minutes, then add the smaller ones and continue boiling for another 7-10 minutes, ensuring they all cook evenly. You can check for doneness by piercing them with a fork; it should slide in easily.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them well. While they are still warm, carefully peel off the skin. The skin should come off easily. It’s best to keep the peeled potatoes warm.
Step 4
Now, let’s infuse them with delicious butter flavor! Heat a pan over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let it melt slowly. Once the butter has melted, add the peeled potatoes to the pan, rolling them around to coat them evenly with the melted butter.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to roll the potatoes in the pan. Cook until their surfaces turn golden brown and slightly crispy. Avoid stirring too frequently; let them develop a nice color before gently turning them. Once they look beautifully roasted, sprinkle with salt to your liking. The rich butter flavor combined with the saltiness is truly irresistible.
Step 6
Transfer the perfectly roasted baby potatoes to a serving dish. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle with dried parsley flakes. Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the delightful contrast of crispy skin and fluffy interior. These make a fantastic snack or a side dish!
