Buttered Parsley Potatoes

Is there anything better than baby red potatoes alongside your main course? My absolute favorite way to make potatoes is on the grill, but since it’s still in the single digits around here, I’m not planning to stand out on the deck in my flip flops waiting for my dinner any time soon. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a little bit of comfort food in the spring (if you want to call it that).

These baby reds are savory and super easy to throw together. I let my steamer do most of the work. Do you have a steamer? They are the most wonderful things ever. I got my steamer as a Christmas gift from my in-laws and I have to say it has become a staple appliance in my house. It actually sits out on the kitchen countertop, and you know what prime real estate that is. Seriously, the best.

 
 
These potatoes just aren’t the same without butter. I know everyone is trying to eat better, cleaner. I see all of those beautiful photos of healthy dishes being shared on Google+ every day and I think, boy, how did they make that look so good without butter? That’s why the Pioneer Woman and I would get along so well. We’re both lovers of butter. If Land O’ Lakes is looking for another member for their butter group, I’m in.
 
 

When you toss the seasoned potatoes into the pan with the pats of butter, they start to melt and the goodness just mixes all together. I bet some of you are wondering why I don’t use more fresh herbs. Because I live in Wisconsin, and while the calendar says it’s spring, it truly still feels like winter.

That’s not the only reason, though. I tend to not have fresh herbs available in the fridge during the colder months because they’re expensive, and if I don’t use them in time, they go bad. And that makes me sad.

In the summer, I usually keep fresh herbs outside on the deck and have easier access to them. I know, I know. My photos would look so much better with fresh herbs. I promise, they’re coming. Just wait a couple more months.

 
 
In a separate pan on the stove, I threw in the onions with the other half of the butter and the garlic and sautéed them until they were tender.
 
 
I transferred the onion mixture to the baking pan with the potatoes and broiled everything on high for 8-10 minutes. You’ll see the potatoes start to brown a bit. Sprinkle a little more parsley over the top and serve immediately. These are just the best. Oh, yes, and don’t forget the butter, my friends. Don’t forget the butter.

    Sara, my potato obsession knows no boundaries and these are just fueling the fire 🙂 I love roasted reds–especially if butter is involved!

      Hi Michelle! I have a West Bend steamer that they don’t make anymore, but I took a quick look on Amazon.com for you and found this Hamilton Beach steamer that seems to have gotten really great reviews and is at a reasonable price point: http://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-37537-Digital-Steamer/dp/B002SB8LPA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402280419&sr=8-1&keywords=west+bend+steamer. Good luck!

    Such a nice dish! I see that we had better stream the potatoes for this recipe since boiling potatoes removes its natural flavor.
