Ingredients

2 pounds small red potatoes, such as red creamer or red bliss

2 teaspoons coarse salt

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel middle of each potato.

Place potatoes and salt in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until a fork inserted into center of potatoes meets only slight resistance, about 20 minutes.

Drain potatoes in a colander; return to warm saucepan. Toss with butter and parsley, and season with pepper. Transfer to a serving dish; serve immediately.
