Chef's Menu Description

Classic Austrian parsley potatoes: small waxy potatoes boiled tender, rolled in sweet foaming Austrian butter, and tossed with an abundance of finely chopped flat-leaf parsley and sea salt flakes.

Ingredients

  • • 800g small firm waxy potatoes (Heurige), peeled or scrubbed
  • • 1 tbsp fine cooking salt
  • • 45g unsalted Austrian butter
  • • 4 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley (Petersilie), finely chopped
  • • Sea salt flakes and freshly cracked white pepper

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Peel the potatoes or leave baby skins intact. Cut into uniform bite-sized pieces. Place in a pot of cold salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 to 18 minutes until tender.

2
Phase 2

Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Return to the dry pot over low heat for 30 seconds, shaking gently so all surface moisture evaporates.

3
Phase 3

Melt the butter in a wide pan or directly in the pot until foaming and aromatic. Add the dry-steamed potatoes, tossing gently until every potato is coated in rich melted butter.

4
Phase 4

Remove from heat, tip in the chopped flat-leaf parsley, and toss until the green flecks cling evenly to the buttered surfaces. Season with sea salt flakes and white pepper, serving immediately.
