Parsley Potatoes
Description
This recipe starts by peeling and cutting russet potatoes into small pieces and combining them with sliced onions in a pot covered with water. The potatoes are boiled until tender, which is checked by piercing with a fork. After draining, butter and dried parsley are melted in the cooking pot, then the potatoes and onions are returned to coat evenly with the seasoned butter.
The resulting dish offers soft potatoes with a slight savory sweetness from the onions, while the parsley adds a mild herbal accent. The melted butter adds richness and carries the salt seasoning throughout.
Parsley Potatoes can be served warm alongside chicken, beef, or fish for a straightforward vegetable side. They also can be transformed into soup by adding milk to leftovers, or adjusted by cutting potatoes smaller for faster boiling. Adding thinly sliced green onions can provide additional flavor variation.
