Unlike roasted potatoes, boiled potatoes don’t require any oven space and instead cook quickly on the stove. A perfect choice when your main course is a dish that cooks in the oven.

I almost always have a bunch of fresh parsley in my fridge so it’s just a matter of picking up a package of potatoes at the store to get these easy buttered Parsley Potatoes on the menu.

Ingredient Notes Potatoes – Red or yellow creamer potatoes, or a combination, like Little Potato Co Dynamic Duo. See the FAQ section below for more tips. * Broth – Boiling potatoes in low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth and water adds great flavor. * Butter * Parsley – Fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley is my first choice but if you have curly parsley in your fridge, by all means use it! * Seasoning* – These potatoes are simply seasoned with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

How to Make Parsley Potatoes Boil – Add the potatoes to a medium saucepan and add the broth and enough water to cover them by about ½-inch. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat under the pot and simmer, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until just fork tender. * Drain– Remove from the heat and drain the potatoes in a colander. Return the potatoes back to the warm, empty pan, add the butter and chopped parsley, and stir to combine. * Season – Sprinkle with salt and pepper. * Toss* – Lightly toss the potatoes to distribute the seasoning.

FAQ and Valerie’s TipsWhat are the best potatoes for boiled Parsley Potatoes? Small, thin-skinned creamer potatoes are an excellent choice for boiling. These tender, young potatoes have a naturally creamy texture and buttery flavor. It’s nice to include a combination of red and yellow potatoes for contrast, like the Little Potato Company’s Dynamic Duo. Baby Yukon gold and red potatoes will also work well but try to select similarly sized potatoes or cut them, as needed.

Should I peel the potatoes before boiling? You don’t need to peel thin-skinned potatoes before cooking. In fact, the skins help the potatoes hold their shape as they boil and are both delicious and nutritious.

How can you tell when the boiled potatoes are done? When you can press the tip of a sharp knife into the potato without resistance, they are done. You don’t want to overcook Parsley Potatoes for the best result. As soon as you pull them off the heat, drain the hot liquid from the pan to stop the cooking.

Can I make boiled potatoes in advance? Boiled potatoes reheat very well. If you’d like to make Parsley Potatoes in advance, drain them well after boiling, cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, warm them gently in a pot on the stove and toss with the butter, parsley, and seasoning, as directed in the recipe.
