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. —Sandra McKenzie, Braham, Minnesota

Am anxious to try this - love lemon. Suggest roasting potatoes & sauce in oven instead of boiling and adding sauce.

Thought this was easy although it did take me longer than 20 minutes to get everything washed, peeled and put together, actually took me 35 minutes. Since I tend to clean as I go, I'm slow sometimes. I did not use that much butter. I used 2T of marg and 2T of olive oil. I did add a tbs of rosemary because I thought it needed a little extra.

The lemon was way too over powering in this. I would probably leave most of it out if i were to try this again.

YUMMY! I did have to use dried parsley instead of fresh, and dried grated orange peel instead of lemon. I would say the prep is more than 5 minutes though, when you consider the time it takes to peel the strip off the potatoes and mix up the spices.
