Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs small new potatoes
1 Tbsp salt, to salt the water
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp kosher salt, or added to taste
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, or added to taste
2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley, optional garnish
Instructions
Wash and scrub potatoes and cut larger potatoes in halves or even quarters so the potato pieces are even-sized.
Place potatoes in a pot of water with 1 Tbsp salt and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork tender (10-18 minutes depending on size).
Drain potatoes and return them to the pot, or a mixing bowl.
Drizzle melted butter and olive oil over potatoes.
Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
Garnish with a freshly chopped parsley and toss to combine. Keep covered until ready to serve.
