Pile ’em high!
Tips and tricks
- I use baby new potatoes and leave the skins, mostly because I love how it looks but you could certainly swap the baby taters for regular size and peel if you prefer.
- Boil them for only 7-10 minutes until just tender. A fork should push into one easily. The time will vary depending on how big your potatoes are.
- I find sea salt flakes are the best to add in right at the end.
- The paprika is totally optional and is used for colour only.
- Don’t skip the parsley. It adds a really nice freshness to the butter and garlic flavours.

Buttery Garlic Potatoes topped with Crispy Prosciutto
Ingredients
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 800 g (1.8 pounds) baby potatoes, washed
- 2 tablespoons butter (notes)
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil (notes)
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- pinch mild paprika (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, roughly chopped (notes)
- sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 375F / 180C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Lay the prosciutto on the baking paper in a single layer and place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until crispy. Remove and allow to cool before crumbling into smaller pieces.
- If you have larger potatoes, cut them to about 1 1/2 inches or just pierce the whole smaller ones with a fork. Place them in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil over high heat. Boil for about 7-10 minutes until cooked. Drain and set aside.
- In the same saucepan add the butter, oil, garlic and paprika. Let it come to a bubble, stirring and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, prosciutto and parsley and stir to combine.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with sea salt flakes
Notes
- I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoon (4 teaspooons worldwide)
