My Mother used to make new potatoes in the spring. They were tossed in tons of butter and then liberally sprinkled with chopped fresh parsley. I do remember this to be a spring dish, but I just recently found these potatoes at a farm market and just had to make them for dinner. They were just as good as I remembered!
Tip : You can purchase baby potatoes year around, but these potatoes looked liked they were fresh from the field at a local grocer. I'm sure that the baby potatoes would be just fine too.
