SAUTEED BABY POTATOES WITH LEMON BUTTER AND PARSLEY
To save some time the potatoes can be boiled up to 2 hours in advance and let stand at room temperature --- I usually peel just a strip of potato skin (about 1/2-inch depending on the size of the potato) down the middle leaving peel on both sides, it makes a nice presentation if you are serving them to dinner guests, if new baby potatoes are not in season just purchase the smallest potatoes that you can find for this :)

Steps:
- Cook the potatoes whole in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender (about 20 minutes, don't overcook them, only JUST until fork-tender) drain and cool slightly (this can be done up to 2 hours in advance and kept at room temperature).
- In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the butter; add in cooked potatoes with about 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt and pepper, cook until potatoes are beginning to brown tossing them often (about 5-6 minutes).
- Transfer to a large serving bowl.
- Sprinkle with about 2-3 tablespoons more of fresh parsley.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best for boiling and roasting, while russet potatoes are better for baking or frying.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy.
- Roast the potatoes in a hot oven: This will give them a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Add butter and parsley at the end of cooking: This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Season the potatoes to taste: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
Conclusion:
Butter and parsley potatoes are a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like them boiled, roasted, or fried, butter and parsley potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next meal.
