For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end for brightness. Garnish with extra parsley or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before serving.
Transform humble new potatoes into a symphony of flavor with sweet leeks, vibrant parsley, and a generous kiss of butter. A simple yet elegant side dish perfect for any occasion.
Prepare the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a steamer basket set over a pan with simmering water (water level should be below the base of the steamer). Cover and steam until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
Sauté the Leeks: While the potatoes steam, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 7 minutes.
Infuse with Parsley: Stir in minced fresh parsley and seasoned salt into the leeks. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Combine and Season: Gently add the warm, steamed potatoes to the skillet with the leeks and parsley. Stir carefully to coat the potatoes evenly. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
