Microwave parsley potatoes is such an easy recipe and delicious. This little potato recipe appeared in my first microwave cookbook back in the seventies and I have been making it for forty years.  It comes in so handy for a quick potato side dish if you are making a weeknight meal or just anytime you feel like potatoes.  You can adapt it for two people or make it for several.  This recipe is so versatile in that you can make it your own and add or subtract spices.  The potatoes are good warmed over and will keep for several days refrigerated.

  1. We have eaten parsley potatoes for years. First time I ever had them was when my grandma made them and that’s been 60 years ago. I’ve always made them on the stove top. Never thought about the microwave. Will definitely try them this way next. Thank you for all your great recipes. Side note: your Hobo Bread is the exact same recipe that our family has made for years. Only we call it Raisin Bread. We love it with butter right out of the oven. So good. Thanks again.5 stars

    The picture looks like they have a crust like they’ve been browned either in a pan in the oven? If you cook then in the microwave they aren’t going to brown right?

      The picture is from the microwave, this is how they look after they have been made.
