Build Boiled Potatoes Step by Step
- Begin by washing and scrubbing your small new potatoes. Make sure to remove any dirt or imperfections. If some potatoes are larger than others, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
- In a large pot, fill it with enough water to cover the potatoes completely. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water to enhance the flavor. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the prepared potatoes to the pot. Gently stir them to ensure they are submerged in the water. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
- Once the potatoes are tender, carefully drain them using a colander. Allow them to sit for a minute or two to let excess water evaporate.
- Return the potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the melted unsalted butter over the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or green onions on top for a burst of color and flavor. Serve the boiled potatoes warm and enjoy your delicious creation!
Notes
- Boiled potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the boiled potatoes in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Consider using Yukon Golds or red potatoes for a different flavor profile.
