Equipment

Ingredients

  • 750 grams potatoes (about 1.5 pounds), rinsed (and peeled, if preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • lemon juice
  • salt and pepper, to season

Instructions

  • Using a medium saucepan with a lid, boil the potatoes in salted water.
  • Simmer until they're soft, then remove from the heat and drain.
  • Put the potatoes back in the pot and add the butter, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. 
    (NOTE:  Do not place them back on the heat.)
  • Combine everything evenly, and make sure the butter has completely melted.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning by adding salt, pepper, or lemon (if required).
  • Transfer your buttered boiled potatoes with parsley onto serving plates --- and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cook's Tip:  Start with a tiny amount of lemon juice, then add more later.  It's a better approach, especially if your lemon is on the strong side.
  • Refer to the post for more tips and substitutions.
