Sabrina’s Boiled Potatoes Recipe
For this recipe, I used new potatoes, also called baby potatoes. The little spuds are great for busy weeknight meals because you don’t have to peel them and they only take a few minutes to soften. For some extra flavor, I like to boil the potatoes with peppercorn, garlic, and bay leaf. After cooking, all you’ll need to do is toss them in some butter and finish with a pinch of salt and pepper. With my recipe, you can have a delicious, comforting side in less than 20 minutes!
