Nat's Buttery Onion and Garlic Mini Potatoes

Submitted by ForeverMama

"These are simple to make and ever so delightful. When I'm pressed for time I put these together and they go well with any meal. The buttery-ness is a result of using miniature teeny-tiny potatoes that now can be found in most supermarkets. Finger potatoes are an example, but now there are various varieties in the markets. They turn out smooth and buttery by their own nature."
