How to Make Parsley Potatoes
The nice thing about having a parsley potato recipe handy is that you can quickly make the potatoes and cook your main dish while they are baking! The actual work time is very short, but they take a little while in the oven to soften.
To make this recipe, simply take a large bowl and mix together all of the ingredients besides the potatoes. After washing the potatoes with a vegetable brush, chop them into small pieces. The smaller the potatoes, the shorter the cook time, but don’t make them too small or the seasonings will be overwhelming.
Then, mix the potatoes in with the other seasonings, making sure that the potatoes are well coated. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven!
When you think the potatoes are done cooking, poke one of them with a fork to make sure that they are soft all the way through. If you have to force the fork in, leave the potatoes in for a little while longer until they are soft enough.
How to Make Softer Potatoes
If you follow this recipe, your potatoes should come out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. However, if you prefer your potatoes completely soft, cover them with tinfoil during the baking process! This will trap any moisture inside and keep the potatoes from becoming crispy!
