Buttered Parsley Potatoes

Fresh parsley adds just the right pizzazz to the hot buttered potatoes. Being able to "pre-papered" helps with timing when entertaining.

5-6 all purpose potatoes

2 tablespoons fresh parsley (curley)

5-6 Tbsp butter

Fresh ground black pepper

PREPARATION:

Peel the potatoes, wash and cut then into bite sized chunks 3/4 inch. (I know peel? yes the skins look terrible in this beautiful whith and green presentation). Wash the fresh parsley shaking off the water and coursley chop. Melt the butter in a micro.
