Garlic New Potatoes offer tender, flavorful bites with garlic, parsley, and butter, perfect as a side dish for family dinners or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook potatoes, covered, in salted boiling water about 15 minutes until tender; drain.
- Saute garlic in melted butter until tender. Add parsley and pepper to the skillet; pour over potatoes and toss to coat.
Tips & Substitutions
For perfectly tender potatoes, choose uniform-sized new potatoes. If you want to enhance flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder along with the minced garlic. If you're out of fresh parsley, dried parsley can work in a pinch, but use about a third of the amount. For a twist, try adding Parmesan cheese for a cheesy finish, which pairs beautifully with Snappy Cheese Bites.
Serving Suggestions
These Garlic New Potatoes make a great side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. They pair wonderfully with fresh salads or can be served alongside dishes like Sinful Cake for a hearty meal. Consider serving them with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added richness and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, cover them with a damp paper towel, and heat in 30-second intervals until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, allowing them to crisp up slightly.
