Frequently Asked Questions About Parsley potatoes
How do you make parsley potatoes?
Boil potatoes until just tender, drain them, then toss with chopped parsley, olive oil or butter, and seasoning. Cutting the potatoes into even pieces helps them cook at the same rate. Add the parsley after cooking so its fresh flavour remains noticeable.
What do you serve with parsley potatoes?
Parsley potatoes are commonly served as a side with roast chicken, grilled fish, or meat. They also pair well with a green salad or steamed vegetables, making them an easy alternative to plain boiled potatoes on a dinner plate.
Can you make parsley potatoes ahead of time?
Yes, you can boil the potatoes ahead, but parsley potatoes taste fresher when dressed close to serving. Refrigerate the cooked potatoes, then reheat or bring them to room temperature and toss with fresh parsley and oil or butter.
Should you peel potatoes for parsley potatoes?
Peeling is optional for parsley potatoes. Leave the skins on small, thin-skinned potatoes after scrubbing them well, or peel thicker-skinned potatoes for a softer, more uniform texture. Either way, cut them into similar-sized pieces if boiling them chopped.
Can you freeze parsley potatoes?
You can freeze parsley potatoes, but the cooked potatoes may become soft or grainy after thawing. For better texture, freeze plain boiled potatoes and add fresh parsley and dressing after reheating; freezing a finished batch is less ideal.
Is fresh or dried parsley better for parsley potatoes?
Fresh parsley is usually better for parsley potatoes because it gives the dish its characteristic bright, herbal flavour. Dried parsley can work in a pinch, but it tastes less fresh; add it during dressing so it has time to soften.
What kind of potatoes are best for parsley potatoes?
Waxy or all-purpose potatoes work well for parsley potatoes because they hold their shape after boiling. Very floury potatoes can break apart when tossed with the dressing, especially if they are cut into small pieces before cooking.
Are parsley potatoes supposed to be buttery?
No, parsley potatoes do not have to be buttery. Some versions are tossed with butter, while others use olive oil for a lighter, dairy-free finish. The parsley and potatoes remain the defining ingredients in either preparation.
Can you reheat parsley potatoes?
Yes, parsley potatoes can be reheated gently in a covered pan or in the microwave. Add a small splash of water or oil if they seem dry, and stir carefully to avoid breaking the potatoes; refresh with parsley just before serving.
Where did parsley potatoes originate?
Parsley potatoes are a simple side dish found in several European cooking traditions rather than a dish with one clearly agreed origin. Recipes commonly combine boiled potatoes with parsley and butter or oil, with local variations in seasoning and serving.

What is Parsley potatoes?
Parsley potatoes are a simple side dish of cooked potatoes tossed with chopped parsley, often finished with oil or butter, salt and sometimes lemon. The preparation is found in many European kitchens rather than belonging to one specific region. Potatoes may be boiled whole or cut into chunks, then dressed while warm so they take on the seasoning.
Their soft, hearty texture and fresh, gently herbal flavour make them an easy match for fish, meat or other vegetables. Serve them warm alongside a main course, or chilled as part of a casual meal. They are chiefly a carbohydrate-rich side, and potatoes also provide potassium. For a lighter version, use just a little oil and brighten the dish with extra parsley and lemon.
