Ingredients

4 pounds small new potatoes

Coarse salt and ground pepper

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, room temperature

1/4 cup chopped parsley

Preparation

With a vegetable peeler, peel a stripe around each potato. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with 1 inch salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 10 to 20 minutes.

Drain well; return to pot. Toss with butter and parsley; season generously with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
