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. The water should sit just below the bottom of the basket.
Bring the water to a boil. Add the potatoes to the steamer basket, cover the pot, and return the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and steam for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Carefully transfer the potatoes to a bowl. Toss with butter, salt, and freshly ground pepper while they are still warm. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

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.
