Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and lower the heat to a simmer until potatoes are tender. (Check the potatoes using a fork, when a fork easily slides in and out without breaking the potato apart), then drain well.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the oil. Once melted, sauté the garlic to golden brown. Remove from the heat and toss with the potatoes, adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Mix in the parsley and serve. (its ok if the potatoes break up a little bit.
