The Technique
Boiled Potatoes
Boiling is a cooking technique whereby the food is completely immersed & surrounded in water during the entire length of the cooking time at a temperature of 212 degrees. Keeping the skins intact & not slicing them in half when preparing Parsley-Butter Boiled Potatoes results in a creamier vegetable. Look for yellow potatoes labeled No. 1 size or petite for this particular recipe. They are super small & truly tender. Accompany them with spring recipe favorites such as Classic Corned Beef Brisket, Steamed Cabbage & Parsley-Butter Rainbow Carrots for a meal your family will crave. Learn how to make this simple side dish in your very own kitchen.

How To Make Boiled Potatoes
New potatoes are a waxy tuber with a thin skin that does not need to be peeled before cooking or consuming which cuts the prep time considerably. They are available in many shapes, colors & sizes. Although boiled potatoes sound rather simple, they are a comforting side that may be prepared at a moments notice with ingredients you more than likely already have in your kitchen.
The Technique
The key to boiling foods is to make certain they are completely submerged in the water during the entire cooking time for consistent results. Bubbles should pop over the surface & the potatoes will be notably tender when pierced with a fork when cooking is complete.
