Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes peeled and cut into even pieces
  • 1 tsp Salt for boiling water
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter optional for serving
  • 0.25 cup Fresh Parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least an inch.
  • Add salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Let them steam for a few minutes.
  • Add butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, try using chicken broth instead of water or adding a dash of garlic powder to the butter.
