You've probably seen adorable, little red potatoes served in restaurants. They're usually slathered in oil or butter and covered with little green bits that make them look festive and attractive on the plate. Usually referred to as parsley potatoes or parsleyed potatoes, this potato side dish is very simple to make. It holds well on a buffet, works with just about any main dish meat and tastes as good or better as a leftover as it does the first night.

Parsley potatoes are usually made using waxy potatoes like red, new potatoes. The potatoes are almost always tiny, too -- about the size of a Golf ball. There's a reason for this. Waxy potatoes hold together well, and the small size makes it easy to prepare them with a minimum of broth. You'll end up with a batch of potatoes that look as good as they taste. This recipe yields a flavorful potato medley that will serve four to six.

Parsley Potato Recipe

2 pounds red new potatoes

1 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion (chopped)

1 garlic cloves (minced)

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups fresh parsley (minced)

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon pepper

Salt to taste

Directions for Parsley Potatoes

  1. Wash potatoes.
  2. Remove a small strip from the middle of each potato. This will look like a stripe when the potatoes are cooked. It's a decorative feature, but it also makes it easier for the potatoes to absorb the flavorful broth and other ingredients. The chicken, garlic and onion in the broth really enhances up the flavor of this new potato recipe.
  3. In a large, heavy duty skillet, heat olive oil and saute onion and garlic until glassy. Add broth and about half of the parsley. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer (this is important). Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender throughout.
  5. Drain off liquid ingredients and toss the hot potatoes with butter, salt, pepper and the remaining minced parsley.

Note: Although this seems like a high fat dish, you can easily substitute butter spray or another butter substitute for the oil and butter in the recipe. You can also reserve the cooking liquid to use as a sauce, gravy, soup or stew base. Parsley new potatoes make a wonderful accompaniment to:

  • Steak
  • Meatloaf
  • Roast beef
  • Pork chops
  • Lamb
  • Kielbasa
  • Corned beef
  • Liver
  • Spareribs
