Company-Worthy Potatoes

I’m calling these “Company Potatoes” because this is the potatoes recipe you make when you want to impress your guests.

My sister-in-law, Nadia, shared this Yukon potatoes recipe with us (her husband’s favorite way to eat potatoes) and our family devoured it down with compliments all around. My parents agreed these are the potatoes we’ll be making when our relatives come into town this weekend.

Parsley Potatoes Recipe

• Potatoes – Yukon gold potatoes or Red potatoes work well. We use 5 lbs to feed a crowd, but you can easily cut the recipe in half for a smaller family.
• Salt – for boiling potatoes and seasoning after. We use fine sea salt.
• Bay leaf – optional but it infuses the potatoes with more flavor
• Butter – we use a generous amount (3/4 cup) of melted unsalted butter
• Parsley – 1 bunch seems like a ton (1 cup chopped), but it really makes the potatoes shine.

How to Make Parsley Potatoes

1. Scrub potatoes – use a clean scouring pad or the rough back of a sponge (no need to peel them). Slice into 1 – 1 1/2″ thick pieces, transfer to a 5.5 Qt pot and add enough warm water to barely cover potatoes. Sprinkle with 2 tsp salt and add the bay leaf (if using).

2. Boil until tender – Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cook at a low boil partially covered for about 15 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain well, drizzle with melted butter and toss gently to coat.

3. Season potatoes – Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt or to taste. Add 1 cup chopped parsley and toss to combine. Toss again just before serving to re-coat with any butter that has pooled at the bottom.

Pro Tip: It’s easier to toss in a large mixing bowl – you’ll look like one of those awesome pizza pie tossers except its potatoes which can be just as cool in some circles 😉

Leftover Potatoes?

If you have leftover parsley potatoes, use them for Potato Salad, or mash them up and make Potato Pancakes out of them. You could also get creative and turn the potato pieces into Smashed Potatoes.
