  • Hungarian Parsley Potatoes

I learned this old recipe from my grandparents. I used to make it the first time new potatoes appeared on the market, so it was a seasonal recipe. Over time, this changed, and now I use baby potatoes, or even regular potatoes, cut into pieces in the recipe.

Ingredients

Today I will cook for three people, so for three generous portions. I will use half a kilogram of baby potatoes and a bunch of parsley.

Baby Potatoes, Sunflower Oil, Parsley, Sea Salt and Ground Pepper

These are the main ingredients of the recipe, along with which we only need:

  • Sea salt because without it, no dish has any taste;
  • Ground peppers, another essential spice when it comes to seasoning;
  • Sunflower oil, in which I will fry the potatoes a little;
  • Vegetable stock (or water) because the potatoes must be cooked at the end.

How to Make the Hungarian Parsley Potatoes?

Preparing the Ingredients

In the recipe for potatoes with Hungarian parsley, I don't usually peel the potatoes, especially if I use new or baby potatoes. I wash them and dry them well with a kitchen towel. It is good that they are as dry as possible because they want to fry a little in oil at the beginning.

I will cut the larger potatoes into two or four so they are all approximately the same size and cook simultaneously.

Cut Potatoes in the Bowl

I have to chop the parsley as small as possible and start cooking because all ingredients are prepared.

Make the Parsley Potatoes

I heat three tablespoons of sunflower oil in a smaller pot or saucepan . Fry the potatoes on medium to low heat. I don't want it to form a crust on top, to catch a little colour and give the roast a taste.

Season with half a teaspoon of sea salt and half a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Let it fry for just two minutes, stirring.

Frying Cut Potatoes in the Pot

First, I add half (or two-thirds) of the amount of parsley and mix. They stick to the potatoes and leave a minute for the oil to fry them a little.

Chopped Parsley on the Sauteed Potatoes

After that, pour about 100 ml (0.5 cups) of vegetable stock (or water), put the lid on and let it boil for about 15 minutes at medium temperature. The water must not cover the potatoes because cooking with the lid on the steam will also cook them.

Pouring Water on the Sauteed Potatoes

The potatoes are ready if they are soft and have absorbed all the liquid from the pot. I add the rest of the parsley, which will remain fresh on top, and that's it; you can serve the dish.

This was my Hungarian parsley potatoes recipe. In my opinion and that of the family, it is delicious and is the ideal side dish with the Hungarian beef paprikash.

Serving

I usually serve the parsley potatoes while they are still warm, as a side dish with a pork or turkey schnitzel, a stuffed whole chicken, or, why not, a beef stew.
