Mike's Salted Irish Pub Garlic Potatoes
- 1 1/4 cup Table Salt
- 4 lb Small White New Potatoes or colored fingerlings
- 2 stick Real Salted Butter no margarine
- 1/4 cup Fresh Garlic smashed or grated & fine chopped
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley lose pack-plus extra for garnish
- 2 tbsp Chives fine chop + extra for garnish
- 1/4 cup Fresh Grated Parmesean Cheese + extra for garnish
- 1/4 White Pepper or less
- 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 Sour Cream
- Using cold water, wash potatoes but do not puncture them whatsoever.
- Place clean spuds in enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 1"+ of water and add salt.
- Bring water to a boil with a tight fitting lid and boil spuds for 13 - 15 minutes.
- Check at 13 minutes.
- Unlike potatoes that you'd boil for mashed spuds dishes, you'll notice these spuds are floating.
- It's the large amount of salt added causing that reaction.
- You'll also notice that your stove top is completely flecked with millions of tiny white dots.
- It's the salt as well and cleans up easily.
- Begin making your butter sauce by adding everything in that specific category and placing on low flame and slowly simmering.
- Check one potato at 13 minutes for tenderness.
- You'll want these as soft and creamy as a baked spud in the center but NOT soggy.
- Discard that pierced potato, otherwise, it'll absorb all of the salt in the water and will be inedible.
- Drain spuds momentarily in sink and allow to quickly dry.
- Almost instantly their skins will morph into a dried, white, salted coating.
- Place those hot spuds evenly in serving bowls.
- Equally pour butter sauce into 4 small Ramekin bowls.
- Here's a tip though: A LITTLE BUTTER SAUCE GOES A VERY LONG WAY!
- So, don't worry about adding smaller amounts to your Ramekin dishes.
- :0) Then, lightly drizzle your remaining butter sauce over your plated potatoes.
- Following that step, garnish your spuds with a light dusting of onion powder, course sea salt, fresh chives, fresh parsley if you have it & grated parmesean cheese.
- Offer a few toothpicks at serving and always offer an optional side dish of sour cream garnished with chives.
- Serve with an ice cold Guiness Beer that's sat properly for at least 2 minutes once poured, before serving it in an ice cold mug as well!
- This is Irish pub food at its finest and most basic folks!
- Enjoy!
