Instructions
-
Prepare the Bouillon Mixture: Begin by dissolving the chicken bouillon cube and the beef bouillon cube in ½ cup of water within a medium saucepan. This creates a flavorful base for your garlic potatoes.
-
-
Add Flavor Enhancers: To the bouillon mixture, add ¼ cup of butter and 1 stick of margarine. Follow this by incorporating 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture gently until the butters are fully melted and the ingredients are combined.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: While the butter mixture is heating, peel and cut the 5 potatoes into bite-sized pieces. This will ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavorful broth.
-
Cook the Potatoes: Once the butter mixture has reached a gentle boil, carefully add the prepared potatoes. Stir to coat the potatoes in the rich, buttery mixture. Allow the mixture to come to a boil again.
-
Simmer to Perfection: After boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the saucepan. Let the potatoes cook uncovered until they are tender, approximately 15-20 minutes. To check for doneness, pierce a potato piece with a fork; it should easily slide in without resistance.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the potatoes are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat. Serve your delicious garlic potatoes warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy this delightful side dish at your next meal.
