Garlic Baby Potatoes Ingredients
Potatoes. And to be exact, you need new potatoes. As we’ll be boiling and searing the potatoes and they need to keep their shape, mkay? New potatoes are also cuter and sweeter than your regular old starchy potato. Now that we said it, we have an old one and we think we will be cutting it up in pieces and planting in the garden to get some new new potatoes. If you’ve never grown potatoes, this is the ultimate upcycling, you don’t need glue, cans or toilet paper. You put a piece of an old potato and you get baby ones. In months, but still worth it.
Besides potatoes you need:
- olive oil, you can also use butter if you want
- fresh parsley or whichever herbs you love (dill will be great too)
- garlic
- scallion
- salt and pepper
How it comes together
Now that you’re armed with all of these, nothing can stop you from making the recipe for these sweet satisfying garlic baby potatoes!
The first thing you do is wash them thoroughly! We left the skin on, so this is a must here. If there are any larger potatoes, cut them in halves or to make bite-sized pieces.
Then you boil them. Add to a cooking pot with water to cover, add some salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat a bit and cook for about 15-18 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Then add to a pan with some olive oil, salt and pepper and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side (stirring or flipping once). Add in the garlic and the scallion and saute for 1-2 more minutes.
Last, add in the thinly chopped parsley and stir it through. You’re ready!
How To Serve The Recipe For New Potatoes
Honestly, we thought the recipe is great as is, but we did have the garlic baby potatoes with some salad and a yogurt garlic sauce. To make it you need 1 cup yogurt, 2 garlic cloves and salt. Mix these and dip the potatoes in the sauce.
These will also be great with some feta cheese.
And if you’re hungrier, you can turn it into a bigger meal with some fish/meat, salad and the sauce.
