The Best Red Potatoes Ever

I got this recipe from watching America's Test Kitchen and they really are the best red potatoes ever!

Ingredients:
1 pound red potatoes 1" to 1-1/4" size
1 tablespoon butter
2 garlic cloves
1 bay leaf


Preparation:

Wash the potatoes and slice in half. Place the potatoes flat side down in a 12" sauté pan. The potatoes will remain flat side down for the entire cooking process. By doing this you will end up with a crispy golden brown potato on one side and creamy in the middle. Next add the butter, garlic, bay leaf and water to just cover the top of the potatoes.

 

Cover the potatoes and cook at just below a boil for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and raise the temp to a slow boil and cook until all the water evaporates. Once the water has evaporated, remove the bay leaf and garlic cloves. Add a touch of olive oil, cook until the bottom side of the potato is golden brown.  Take the garlic cloves and rough dice them and toss on to the potatoes. To serve, place the potatoes on a plate or shallow bowl, top with light sour cream, green onion and chopped Italian parsley.
