Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the baby potatoes under running water. Remove any dirt or impurities, as you want the potatoes to be clean and ready for cooking.
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water, making sure it doesn’t touch the bottom of the steamer basket. Place the steamer basket over the pot, ensuring it fits snugly.
Add the prepared baby potatoes to the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and allow the potatoes to steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully remove them from the steamer and transfer them to a serving bowl. Immediately add the unsalted butter, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat the potatoes with the melted butter and seasonings.
Finally, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes for a touch of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy your beautifully steamed potatoes!
