Ingredients
- Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into thick chunks (about 2-inch pieces)
- Unsalted butter
- Chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option)
- Onion, diced finely
- Garlic, minced or grated
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Parsley, chopped fresh
Instructions
- Peel and chop the potatoes into thick chunks, about 2-inch pieces.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the potatoes to the pot and stir gently to coat them in the butter mixture, being careful not to mash them.
- Pour in the chicken broth just until the potatoes are barely covered. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cover the pot with a lid and let the potatoes simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still holding their shape.
- Season generously with salt and pepper, tasting as you go to achieve the perfect balance of flavor.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a thicker broth, mash a few potato chunks against the side of the pot. Customize the recipe with smoked paprika, cayenne, or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
