Top 5 tips
Instant Pot® Butter Parsley Potatoes are the perfect side dish to any meal. Here are the top 5 tips for making them:
- Start with unpeeled potatoes. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb all of the flavors from the butter and parsley.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly in the Instant Pot®.
- Add enough water to just cover the potatoes. Adding too much water will result in soggy potatoes.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh parsley on hand, you can substitute dried parsley flakes. Just be sure to add them towards the end of cooking so they don't get too mushy.
- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes. Instant Pot® Butter Parsley Potatoes are best when they are tender but still hold their shape.Overcooking them will result in mushy potatoes.
