Easy Yukon Gold Parsley Potatoes
Makes 2 Servings

1 large (or 6 very small) Yukon Gold potato
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
Salt
Pepper
Parsley flakes (dried or fresh)

Wash the potato well; do not peel it. Boil the potato whole with the peel intact, until a sharp knife or fork can easily pierce the potato. Remove it from the hot water and allow it to cool enough so you can handle it without getting burned.

When the potato has cooled, cut it into bite-size pieces. The peel can be left on or removed, as desired. Heat a skillet over about medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter and allow them to heat briefly. Add the potato pieces. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper and parsley flakes, to your taste. Allow the potato pieces to sauté, turning occasionally with a spatula, until they begin to brown. Serve immediately.

Tip: To save time, boil the potatoes in advance and store them in a covered container in the refrigerator until needed. For best results, use them within 2 days, but they will keep for up to 5 days.
