Ingredients
4 LBS CREAMER RED POTATOES

1 BUNCH CURLY PARSLEY (Chopped)
Method
Wash in potatoes in cold water remove all dirt but do not damage the skin. Use a large
stock pot and over high heat, boil the potatoes in 2 gallons of water. The
potatoes should be watched carefully and removed the minute that they are cooked
though. Test the potatoes
for doneness after about 10 minutes, cut one in half with a knife, it should
resist to the knife but not crunch. AGAIN, Be careful not over
cook the potatoes. Allow the potatoes to cool to the touch and peel the potatoes with a
paring knife. The potatoes can be refrigerated at this time or held covered in a double
boiler.
Use a brazier to melt the butter, then add salt and potatoes. Brown the
potatoes.

enhance this dish.

an oven at 200F.
Plate Presentation
Use a clear glass Pyrex bowl to display these beautiful potatoes. Add the potatoes to the
bowl then add the butter sauce and parsley, turn the potatoes to insure that all surfaces are coated
with the sauce. Serve immediately
Chef's Notes:
Only red creamer potatoes should be used for this recipe. I have found that these potatoes are
best when they are bite sized and offer the most surface area to hold the seasonings.
Many backyard crawfish boils end up with a stack of boiled potatoes,
try this recipe.
My mom helped with this recipe back in 1995, when I first started this website. She thought it was important to describe her feelings about Creoles and New Orleans living.. this is what she wrote... Jeannine's Song. She passed away in 2015. I miss her.
