By lewolfe50

"With an abundance of potatoes in our garden each summer, I often make this easy recipe. We love the combination of parsley and spices, and the lemony butter sauce. They make a great accompaniment to grilled fish."

Ingredients

• 12 small red potatoes
• 1/3 cup butter, cubed
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Peel a strip from around each potato. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or just until tender.

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in the lemon juice, salt, lemon peel, pepper and nutmeg. Drain potatoes and place in a serving bowl. Pour butter mixture over potatoes; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 4 servings.
