Garlicky New Potatoes

2 1 /2 lbs                     New red potatoes, small

3 quarts                       Chicken broth

1 stick                          Butter

1 Tbsp                         Garlic, fresh minced

1/3 cup                        Parsley, freshly chopped

1 tsp                            Salt

1 tsp                            Black Pepper, fresh ground

Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Using a pairing knife, cut a strip around the outside of the potato. Place potatoes in a large stockpot. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a low simmer for 20-30 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Drain potatoes. Place hot potatoes in a large skillet with all of the ingredients except the parsley. Simmer over medium heat stirring gently. Cook 10-12 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

Note- New potatoes should be smaller than a golf ball. If you are working with larger potatoes, use a pairing knife to cut potatoes into uniform sizes.
