Parsleyed Potatoes

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 pounds small red potatoes, such as red creamer or Red Bliss
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel the middle of each potato, if desired.

    Step 2

    Place the potatoes and salt in a large saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until a fork inserted into the center of the potatoes meets only slight resistance, about 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Drain the potatoes in a colander; return to the warm saucepan. Toss with the butter and parsley, and season with pepper. Transfer to a serving dish; serve immediately.
