Parsley New Potatoes

Total time: 30 minutes
     New potatoes are very young potatoes, golf ball size or smaller. Roast them whole unless quite large. Fingerling potatoes would be a good substitute. Actual new potatoes do not keep well and should be used within a few days.

 Ingredients:

• 10 - 15 new potatoes (enough for 2 people) substitute fingerlings or regular potatoes cut into chunks
• 1 clove garlic
• 3 tbs snipped fresh parsley   substitute 1 1/2 tbs dried
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 2 tbs butter
• pepper

 Instructions:

• Leave small (an inch (2.5cm) or less in diameter) new potatoes whole.  Cut larger ones in half.  If using regular potatoes cut into quarters or smaller. 
• Put potatoes in a bowl with olive oil and stir to coat.
•  Lay on a baking sheet and roast, 400F (200C) for 30 minutes.
• Mince garlic and snip parsley. 
• Melt the butter in a skillet large enough to easily hold the potatoes.
• Add the garlic and sauté 1 minute. 
• Add the parsley, potatoes and sauté 1 - 2 minutes. 
• Remove, add some fresh pepper to taste and serve.
