I have been making Steamed Potatoes with Parsley for years. They are so tender and buttery. One of our family’s favorite recipes.
Put this dish together in minutes and microwave. Quick and Easy. A perfect weeknight side dish that goes with many entrees.
I really like making this dish when I want an easy supper for our family. Maybe I’m grilling pork loin chops, frying catfish, or even searing ground burger patties in a skillet and want an easy side dish to go with the meat. This potato recipe offers more than a microwaved baked potato–which is also good. But this gives you another option.
That’s what is so nice about potatoes. They are such a versatile vegetable, and there are so many ways to make them! Mash them, cut them up and fry them, put them in a stew, or make potato soup. Bake or microwave them. They are delicious with just butter, salt, and black pepper. Or add cheese, fun seasonings, and herbs for even more flavor. Or bacon! Yes? You bet!
For this recipe, you may use Russet, Idaho, red, or yellow potatoes. I have used them all, but my favorite is Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes, which presents a nice appearance on your table. If desired, you may remove the skin, but I usually keep them on to preserve more vitamins.

A Note about Ingredients
This recipe is very adaptable. I like using yellow or Yukon gold potatoes, but you may use Russet, Idaho, or red potatoes if you prefer.
If desired, you may use freshly diced onions rather than dried minced onions. Also, if you have fresh parsley, go ahead and use chopped parsley instead of the dried.
Regarding butter, I always use salted butter. If you’re using plain, you may want to add a bit more salt to this recipe.
Instructions for Making This Recipe
Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Clean and dice the yellow potatoes into 1-2 inch cubes.
When working with potatoes, I will usually leave the skin on to get as much vitamin and mineral benefits from them as possible. If you would rather peel your potatoes, feel free to do so.
Place potatoes in a medium-sized casserole dish sprayed with baking spray. Dot with butter, then sprinkle dried minced onion, parsley, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper over the potatoes.
Cover and microwave on high for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are soft and tender, stirring 2-3 times between cooking increments.
Please be careful when lifting the lid from the hot dish, as the steam will be very hot and could burn your fingers.
You may keep the potatoes warm in the microwave until ready to serve.
Steamed Potatoes with Parsley is a perfect weeknight dish to make for your family. Serve warm with Easy BBQ Chicken Bites, Bacon-Wrapped Filet Mignon, or Slow-Cooked Country Style Pork Ribs.
