Dressed Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (red or yellow), washed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra zing)
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain well.
  2. If you like, you can gently smash the potatoes with the back of a spoon for more crispy edges.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil or melted butter, garlic powder, Dijon mustard (if using), smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, chives, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Toss again to combine.
  6. Serve warm as a flavorful side dish!

If you’d like, I can tailor it to a specific cuisine (like Mediterranean or Cajun) — just say the word!
