This easy side dish can be ready and on the table in about 30 minutes. It's so delicious and easy to do, you'll put this on your dinner rotation a lot.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb. small red potatoes, scrubbed
• 1 t. salt
• 4 T. unsalted butter
• 2 large cloves garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
• 3 T. freshly chopped parsley leaves
• salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps

1. Place potatoes and 1 t. salt in a medium saucepan; cover with water by 1 inch; bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-high; cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Slip a small paring knife into one of the larger potatoes to check for doneness; if it slips in and out easily, they're done; drain.
2. Return empty pot to the stove-top; add butter. Once melted, add garlic and white parts of the green onions. Sauté, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant, about 30-45 seconds. Remove from the heat. Add the green parts of the onions and parsley. Carefully add the cooked potatoes to the butter mixture; Using the back of a fork, gently press down on all potatoes until the skin breaks and potatoes smash just a bit. Gently stir potatoes and butter mixture together until combined. It's okay if some potatoes break down. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
3. Serve immediately.
