Easy Boiled Potatoes Recipe
Boiled potatoes are one of the easiest sides and can pair well with steak, chicken, seafood and almost any main dish. A sprinkle of melted butter and olive oil brings out the natural creamy flavor of new potatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, optional garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or add to taste
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or add to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon of salt for salt water
- 1 1/2 pounds new small potatoes
Instructions
- Wash and scrub the potatoes and cut the large potatoes into halves or even quarters until the potatoes are the same size.
- Put the potatoes in a pot of water with 1 tablespoon of salt and cover with an inch of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are soft (10-18 minutes depending on size).
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the saucepan or mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the melted butter and olive oil over the potatoes.
- Season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and mix. Keep covered until ready to serve.
This is great way to fix potatoes….Easy, Fast and Oh! So Good!!! I sometimes top them with some grated Parmesan and/or chopped bacon, sliced green onions or chives. Thanks so much for posting this,

Hey Nat , hope you don’t mind if I ask you a question that is not about this recipe? Can you tell me how to freeze fresh mushrooms? I would really apprciate it…thanks.
Sounds delicious. I don’t have New potatoes but I’ll try it with the small russet until I get a bag of those. I have roast pork that I made recently I think would go great with the gravy. Thanks for the idea! Luv your recipes!
