Instructions
- Wash the new potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then place them in a pot of cold salted water.
- Bring the pot to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, clean the leek by slicing off the root and dark green tops, then slice the white and light green parts thinly.
- Drain the cooked potatoes and set aside to cool slightly, then cut any large potatoes in half to ensure even size.
- Heat the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.
- Add the minced garlic clove to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add the sliced leeks to the skillet and cook gently for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cooked new potatoes to the skillet with the leeks and garlic, gently tossing to coat them in the buttery mixture.
- Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, stirring carefully to combine all flavors.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh flat leaf parsley over the potatoes and leeks.
- Serve the buttery new potatoes warm as a delicious side dish.
Tips
- Use fresh young leeks for a sweeter flavor and tender texture.
- Do not overcook the potatoes to keep them firm and creamy.
- Chop parsley finely to evenly distribute its fresh flavor.
