Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub potatoes and cut larger potatoes in halves or even quarters so the potato pieces are even-sized.
  2. 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).
  3. Drain potatoes and return them to the pot, or a mixing bowl.
  4. Drizzle melted butter and olive oil over potatoes.
  5. Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
  6. Garnish with a freshly chopped parsley and toss to combine. Keep covered until ready to serve.
