Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes, cut into large chunks
  • salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • black pepper

Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Add the chunks of potatoes (2 pounds) to a pan and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pan. Bring the potatoes to a boil, immediately reduce heat, and simmer, partially covering until fork tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and shake out any extra water. Return to pan and add the butter (1/2 cup), salt, and pepper to taste. Stir to coat the potatoes. The butter should melt as you stir over the potatoes. You can also cover them for a few minutes to get the butter to melt faster. Garnish with parsley (1 tablespoon) and green onions (1/4 cup).
