Ingredients

1 pound Red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions

Add 1 inch of water to a large pot and place a steamer basket inside. Bring the water to a boil.
Place the potatoes in the steamer basket, cover the pot with a lid, bring back to a boil, and reduce the heat to medium.
Steam for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Carefully transfer the cooked potatoes to a bowl and toss with butter, salt, and pepper while still warm.
Season with salt and fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Seasoning Ideas

For added flavor, try any of the following:

- Steam garlic cloves with the potatoes

- Top the potatoes with sour cream or grated Parmesan or Locatelli before serving.

- Toss the hot potatoes with butter and toss with chopped parsley.

- Mix with grated Parmesan and chopped chives.

- Coat the cooked potatoes with our Cajun blackened spice blend for a bold, Southern-inspired dish.

Storage and Reheating

Allow cooked red potatoes to cool completely before refrigerating. Place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-4 days.

Reheat potatoes in a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or water. Or you can microwave them for 1–2 minutes or until warmed through.
