Norwegian Parsley Potatoes

Submitted by CarrolJ

"This simple recipe is precisely how my Norwegian born BIL taught my sister to make parsley potatoes. He insists that the potatoes do not taste as good if the salt is not cooked with the potatoes. Once I cooked the potatoes for my sister and didn't put the salt in the water first. He had a fit and wouldn't eat them after taking one bite and asking me if I had salted them before cooking."

One of my favorite basic recipes, just like my mother used to make. I might use just a little more parsley, and maybe add just a little bit of sage.

I love potatoes made this way and this recipe was so very easy to make while the chicken was baking in the oven. Simple and delicious. Made for ZWT6 ~ FAMILY PICKS and the Queens of Quisine!

I love parsley potatoes. Salting the water does make a difference. This was sprinkled with fresh parsley from my herb garden. Made for *ZWT6*

So tasty and so simple! I used red potatoes as that is what I had on hand and used fresh parsley from the garden. I also used sea saltand unsalted butter. Sometimes simple IS best! Thanks for posting Carrol. Made for ZWT 6.
