Tips, Tricks, & Suggestions
- While today’s recipe uses gold potatoes, you can easily sub them out with red potatoes. Just make sure that they are small baby ones. If all you have are normal-sized ones then you may need to add another 10 to 20 minutes to the simmering process.
- Try adding a little it of fresh dill for a different take on this recipe.
- I really enjoy serving these parsley potatoes with either some pork schnitzel or pan-fried walleye.
