Parsley Potatoes are a fool proof side dish with tons of flavor from dry-toasted garlic cloves, a little butter and lots of fresh parsley.

There are so many ways to prepare potatoes that it is hard for me to pick my favorite. We eat a lot of potatoes in our house, either as a main dish or a side. So I’m always fixing them in different ways. I think my kids would choose these breakfast potatoes as their favorite. I really like these parsley potatoes because they get a ton of flavor from dry toasting garlic cloves. It’s a technique I learned a long time ago when I discovered this garlic bread recipe. Plus they look pretty and taste so fresh and healthy with the addition of fresh parsley.

How to Make Parsley Potatoes

Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the complete recipe. Parsley potatoes are made with just five ingredients:

  • potatoes
  • garlic
  • butter
  • fresh parsley
  • salt

Choose smallish potatoes – I like Yukon Gold but red skinned potatoes are also a good choice. Cut them into about 1-inch pieces. While they are simmering on the stove, dry toast the garlic cloves. Press the cooled garlic through a garlic press. And mix the garlic with melted butter and chopped fresh parsley. Drain the water from the potatoes. Toss the tender potatoes with the butter, garlic and parsley mixture. So simple and so good!

What Goes Well With Parsley Potatoes

Grilled, roasted or air fried meats are my personal choice to serve alongside these parsley potatoes. Here’s some of my favorite recipes:

  • Bourbon Brined Pork with Candied Bacon Butter
  • Air Fryer Pork Chops
  • Reverse Sear Steak
  • Garlic Butter Grilled Steak and Shrimp
  • Turkey Meatloaf
  • Perfectly Grilled Pork Chops
  • Air Fryer Chicken Breasts
  • Easy Grilled Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes you can substitute red skinned potatoes if you'd like
  • 5 cloves garlic
