Ingredients

  • Baby red potatoes
  • ½ cup butter divided
  • Small red onion sliced
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dried or fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Steam or boil the red potatoes until they are tender.
  • Put ¼ cup butter into a baking pan and add the tender potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, pepper and parsley. Toss to coat.
  • In a saucepan, sauté the onions until tender with the other ¼ cup butter and minced garlic.
  • Add the onions to the potatoes and broil on high for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes start to brown.
  • Sprinkle a little more parsley on top of the potatoes for garnish and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Opt for waxy red potatoes, as they hold their shape well during cooking and have a creamy texture. This ensures that your Buttered Parsley Potatoes have a desirable consistency without becoming mushy.
  • Adjust Seasoning to Taste: While the recipe suggests using salt, pepper, and parsley to season the potatoes, feel free to adjust the amounts according to your personal preference. Taste the potatoes after tossing to coat, and add more seasoning if needed to enhance the flavor to your liking.
  • Monitor Broiling Closely: Keep a close eye on the potatoes while broiling to prevent them from burning. Broil on high heat for 8-10 minutes or until the potatoes start to brown, but be cautious not to let them char. Rotate the pan if necessary for even browning, and remove it from the oven promptly once it reaches your desired level of crispiness.
