Parsley Potatoes is a favorite of mine. I ate these as a child, both my Mom and Grandmother Eynard made these wonderful buttery potatoes. This is simple cooking at its best. This recipe has just a few ingredients: potatoes, onions, salt, parsley, and butter, that’s just five ingredients, and it doesn’t get much easier than this.
My family is from the Midwest, Jefferson City, Missouri to be exact. Many members of my family had farms, or lived on them for large portions of their lives. So their food tends to be simple, but tasty. My Grandmother Eynard was a simple cook. If you opened her spice cabinet, it wasn’t over flowing, it had the essentials and not much more, but her food, well I still think about it. This was one of my favorite dishes she made, it is tasty, and filling, and what she would do with the left overs, oh my. The next day if there were any of these parsley potatoes left would get turned into a simple potato soup. She would simply add milk to the left over parsley potatoes, heat, and season. I don’t know why these parsley potatoes were so good, but when I start feeling nostalgic I like to make these. You can also serve the left overs as fried potatoes if you just saute the left over potatoes until they are browned and crispy.

Instructions
Wash and peel potatoes. Cut potatoes into small bite sized pieces, place in pot. Cover potatoes and onions with water, and place on medium high heat. Allow potatoes to boil for about 15 minutes. Check to see potatoes are done by pricking with a fork, if the fork goes through the potatoes, they are done. Drain potatoes in a colander. Place 1/4 cup of butter into the pot that you just boiled the potatoes in, and add dried parsley. Stir until the butter has melted, add cooked potatoes and onions to the melted butter, and stir to blend the parsley butter over the potatoes. Season with salt.
