These parsley potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes. They have an herbaceous freshness – brought to you by garlic and parsley – balanced with a certain brightness that comes from lemon juice. Butter ties the sauce together (and what potato dish is complete without a fat component?), turning these potatoes from a mediocre side offering to a dish worthy of serving at your fanciest date night.

How to make parsley potatoes
Start by cleaning and slicing your potatoes. For this recipe I prefer a one pound bag of fingerling potatoes, which you can find at most grocery stores. These potatoes are adorable but sometimes vary in size; I recommend slicing the larger potatoes in half so that the size is consistent. The more uniform their size, the more efficiently your potatoes will cook.
Place your potatoes in a pot of water and bring it to a boil. Allow to boil for 10 minutes or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare your seasoning. Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and garlic powder.
Once the potatoes are tender, remove from boiling water and drain. Toss with melted butter and spices and serve hot.
