Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes red
  • water enough to cover the potatoes in a pot
  • ½ tablespoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teasapoon garlic powder or 3-4 pressed fresh garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder or one shallot, grated
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2-3 green onions finely sliced
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil or any other kind of neutral plant oil

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water just enough to cover them by an inch. Add in ½ tablespoons of salt.
  • Simmer over medium heat until the potatoes are fork-tender, but not mushy. 
  • Drain and while still hot stir in the seasonings together with the parsley, onion, and oil. Gently toss the potatoes to avoid crushing them.
  • Transfer to a large serving bowl.
  • Serve warm or cool.

Notes

  • Instead of fresh parsley, use fresh or dried rosemary tossed within the cooked potatoes for a garlic and rosemary flavor.
  • Instead of simmering, roast the potatoes in the oven until crispy.
  • Top the garlic herbed potatoes with freshly grated parmesan cheese for extra flavors.
  • To make creamy garlic mashed potatoes, just add a little bit of cream and butter to the cooked potatoes and mash them with a potato masher or wooden spoon.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
