Ingredients
baby red potatoes
16 (washed and peeled in strips)
butter
2 tablespoons (melted)
Italian parsley
2 tablespoons (freshly chopped)
Instructions
1
Begin by rinsing the baby red potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.
2
Using a vegetable peeler, carefully remove a narrow strip of peel around the middle of each potato, ensuring to keep the ends unpeeled for better texture.
3
In a large pot, fill with salted water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the prepared potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly. (You can also prepare the potatoes a day ahead; cover and refrigerate after cooking.)
4
In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to foam.
5
Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet. Sauté them for about 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they achieve a crispy golden exterior.
6
Once they are nicely browned, season the potatoes with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
7
Transfer the crispy potatoes to a serving bowl and generously sprinkle with the chopped Italian parsley for a fresh, herbaceous finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
