1
Wash and Prepare Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the new potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Do not peel them as the skin adds flavor and texture. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking.

2
Boil the Potatoes
Place the washed and cut new potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
3
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and let them steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
4
Add Butter
Return the drained potatoes to the pot over low heat. Add the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the potatoes. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the melted butter.
5
Season
Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste over the buttered potatoes. Stir again to ensure even seasoning.

6
Add Fresh Herbs
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the buttered potatoes. Toss gently to combine and enhance the flavor.
