Great comfort food!!! This reminded me of when I was growing up and my mother used to make potatoes like this along with smoked sausage and a salad or green beans. It never took this long to make the potatoes as it does with your method and they still weren't burnt, so I think this is a great recipe but would up the cooking temperature and less time to get them on the table. The only change I made was to not use the parsley, as I don't find it adds a lot of flavor but does add to the eye for color! Thanks for a trip down memory lane!! Made for PRMR!!

Very simple and very tasty...I've made these twice in the last few days..once on the stove inside and the second time on the side burner of my barbecue outside.
Both times produced lovely results..that everybody enjoyed.

Absolutely delish! They took about 45 minutes for me, but they were scrumptious and all gone! :)

Loved the crispy crust on the Yukon potatoes. I took my time and they turned out great. Served with Rosemary and Lemon Pork Stew.

To die for! Try adding a bit of Mrs. Dash-Org blend, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic/Onion Salt and Bacon Bits!!! OMG! Also, use Yukon Golds, or reds for the best flavor. Great Post-TY! ;)

Perfect fried potatoes! I drained the potatoes on paper towels before adding the salt, pepper and parsley. Delicious side dish for any meal.

I followed the directions and used potatoes recommended for roasting but after 50 minutes there was little to no colour and some were raw cranked up the heat and after 15 minutes they were a nice golden colour, drained on paper towel and some seemed very oily, then transfered to a bowl and sprinkled with salt and pepper and the parsley. Overall o'kay but if trying again I think I would dice the potatoes rather than slice to fit into the pan better. Thank you Kiwidutch, made for Please Review My Recipe.

Had to try these because I'd never tried fried potatoes using this technique. I made this for myself as a snack, so used 2 med russets and my mandolin slicer. I used just over 1/8 cup olive oil and just under 1/8 cup of Smart Balance with Flaxseed Oil spread. I cooked mine on low for 40 mins (checking every 15 and then the last 10, even flipping them a bit). My potatoes got super crispy and nicely browned, but no burnt bits! They were also tender. A few slices reminded me of potato chips because they were smaller than other slices and got very fried. Yummy! All i had was dried parsley, so I used about 1tbsp dried. I also drained these on paper towels for a min before tossing with s&p and the dried parsley. I hope my pics do this recipe justice. This technique is a real winner in my book, and this recipe will be made again. :) Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game. Thanks for sharing KD! :)

These were simple and yet so delicious! Used dried parsley here. It was perfect served with Chicken Piccata. Thanks, kiwidutch!

Nothing left of these after dinner and I didn't even get them crunchy! I used Amandine potatoes which don't need to be peeled and have a slightly sweet taste. They have a wonderful texture when roasted or for in salads. Because of the sweetish flavour, I used an oil infused with chili peppers. I also snuck in a Tbsp of cilantro in with the parsley. Next time I might add a bit of garlic salt and turn the heat up at the end to get them crunchy. Yummy pototoes!

these turned out beautifully, golden brown and oh so good. Once they were cooked I squeezed a 1/4 of a lemon over them as well.
