Easy Parsley Potatoes

Quick Parsley Potatoes.

I tried a different way to make parsley potatoes today, and they were quite good and this method is so easy.  We like the little red new potatoes, and we like to eat them with the skin still on.  I bought a small bag of these potatoes, rinsed them off while still in the bag, and placed the potatoes (still in the bag) in the microwave.  Cook them on high for 8 to 10 minutes (mine were done in 8 minutes), pierce them with a knife to determine if they are done. 

i popped this whole bag into the microwave to cooke.

While the potatoes are still hot, cut them in half or for larger potatoes in fourths.  Add olive oil and butter and stir to cover all the potatoes.

Sprinkle minced fresh parsley on the potatoes and season with salt and pepper.  I use only pepper, because we try to keep our salt intake at a minimum. 

Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

I served these with country style steak with mushroom gravy and French green beans.  A quick and easy lunch.
