PARSLEY-DILL POTATOES

Steps:

• Using a peeler or a paring knife, peel a 1/2-inch strip around the circumference of each potato. Fill a large saucepan with cold water. Add the potatoes and place them over high heat. Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and place the potatoes back into the pan on the burner for 30 seconds to dry them out. Add the butter and toss in the herbs. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

PARSLEY POTATOES (COMPANY-WORTHY POTATOES)

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes with a clean scouring pad or the rough back of a sponge (no need to peel them). Slice potatoes into 1 - 1 1/2" thick pieces, transfer to a pot and add enough warm water to barely cover potatoes. Sprinkle with 2 tsp salt add bay leaf.
• Bring to a boil then boil partially covered for about 15 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork. Drain potatoes. Drizzle with melted butter and toss to coat (note: it's easier to toss in a large mixing bowl).
• Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt or to taste. Add 1 cup chopped parsley and toss to combine. Toss again just before serving to re-coat with any butter that has collected at the bottom.

HERBED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook! Toss with the herbs, and serve hot.

BUTTER AND PARSLEY POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the potatoes in a serving bowl. Toss gently with the butter, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Serve warm.
• Sorting Out Salts
• So many kinds of salt are in stores now that it's hard to figure out which one to use for what. Keep a box of kosher salt, which is coarse-grained and additive-free, on hand for sprinkling into large amounts of water-when you boil potatoes, pasta, or vegetables, for instance. Most cooks use kosher salt for pretty much everything, and sea salt for finishing. Sea salt tends to be rather gray looking (it literally is the product of the evaporation of seawater), with a very delicate flavor as well as some essential minerals. Fleur de sel is a type of sea salt that's harvested in some areas of France. The salt is marketed as fleur (or "flower") de sel because of the flower pattern it forms as it dries. It looks like flat crystals and has a very delicate flavor. Since it is also expensive, it's best to use it wisely, on salads, meats, fish, or vegetables where it will add texture and really be noticed.
