Parslied Potatoes
"I have always loved parslied potatoes, but could never find a recipe for them (this was before the internet!!!!) So, one day, I just experimented and came up with this. If you don't like a lot of butter, it can be reduced. I list red potatoes in the ingredient list, but have used all kinds. Also, in desperation, I have used dried parsley, and so long as it is soaked in the melted butter, it seems to work."
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 2 lbs red potatoes, boiled and cut into bite size pieces
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
directions
- While boiling the potatoes, melt the butter with the parsley in it. (I use the microwave, then set it on the stove close to the potatoes to keep warm.).
- Once the potatoes are cooked drain off the water.
- Pour the butter and parsley over them.
- Mix well. (I find that shaking the pan, with the lid on mixes it better.).

A great side dish to steak. I used baby potatoes (called chats in Australia) and added a sprinkling of sea salt. By the way, this served six easily -- not the two servings indicated on the recipe. -
Wonderful! I used baking potatoes (thanks for noting that they'd work just as well) and dried parsley. These were the perfect side to honey-mustard chicken and steamed mixed vegetables. I know I'll be making these often- thanks for sharing! -
I had some very tiny new potatoes and wanted to make a recipe that was simple enough to show off those small spuds in their purest state. What could be better than parslied potatoes? Maybe, garlic parsley potatoes, since I did add a minced clove of garlic to the butter, as well as some fresh pepper and a pinch of coarse sea salt. Perfection!

I originally joined the site as "aussiekarin", but decided instead to go with my nickname - Kayne. Sorry if this causes any confusion! I moved to the US from Australia in 1970, and apart from three years in Germanyhave been here the whole time. However, still consider myself an Australian, although I was actually born in Holland. Since I come from such a diversified background, my cooking is rather strange at times. Many times it is a combiniation of Dutch, Aussie / English, German and American. I'm not really much of a cook, but enjoy it, nevertheless. I just wish I knew more and could do more - without a recipe! I'm retired now, so one of my goals is to really learn to cook. I intend to enjoy my retirement, doing what I never had time to do before. Since joining Recipezaar in November, 2006, I find that my cooking has changed somewhat. I'm more adventurous, willing to try new and more varied tastes, and combinations, and just about all of what I prepare is edible. Lately, due to a major life change, I've been letting my cooking go, but hopefully that will change one day. Oddly, I miss it, more than I ever thought I would!!!!!
