Start right here, with Green Giant red potatoes. I got the 10 pound bag, because the peoples in my house are excessively greedy. My Parsley Red Potatoes are great as part of a family meal, holiday meal (think Easter), or anytime meal on a day when you’ve worked out hardcore and need some extra fuel. I am NOT afraid of the occasional dish of red potatoes. My metabolism embraces it.
So do this:
Whoops! Forgot to add a pic that shows where you boil the potatoes after you cube them, BEFORE you move on to pic #3.
And that’s parsley flakes in pic #3 with some buttah. Go on and be parley-generous, because that’s where the extra flavors will bitch-slap your taste buds into ecstasy. Heat up the butter and parsley flakes until sizzly, then add the boiled potatoes cubes and stir around gently until coated with the parsley. It’s even better to get a little golden brown sear going on those potatoes.
Add some salt, and waalaaa! The final product is fanciness and wonderment. Parsley Red Potatoes is so simple, yet so powerfully delicious. It totally transforms a basic red potato into a supah star! You will be an instant hero to anyone you feed them to.
…and I’m totally giggly at this video from Green Giant. Yes, I’m in it, so watch it! Does this mean I’m famous now?? Oh, never mind then.

March 13, 2012 at 8:34 amThose definitely look like holiday potatoes – they would be great with leg of lamb at Easter, yum.
Is the Jolly Green Giant your new boyfriend? You’re standing close enough to him in the group shot I thought his head might swallow you. heehee
Great commercial – and they really are some of the best fresh frozen veggies on the market. Bring on the corn. Now. [oooh I can’t wait. Love summer corn.]

March 13, 2012 at 9:18 amyou know I wanted some corn last night after I posted this. As for leg of lamb, I’ve had NEVER had it. Always wanted to try. The Skippy house sure is food-fancy.

March 13, 2012 at 9:04 amYou were famous long before the Green Giant got ahold of you! Looks like a tasty recipe. I will have to try it with Sunday dinner.
I love seeing people learn about farming and agriculture. The importance of farming gets overlooked so often. People tend to think that everything grows in the warehouse at walmart! You would be surprised how many people really do not make a connection with a cow and milk or a chicken and eggs. They think it all starts with a fridge a door and a grocery cart 🙂

March 13, 2012 at 9:22 amI’m about as famous as a toad chillin’ on a termite infested log by a swamp river in the dead of night.
Yes, the farming & agriculture aspect of this trip was truly amazing. Much respect to Green Giant for their efforts to show us how they roll!

March 13, 2012 at 6:42 pmWhat a tasty and simple potatoes recipe! These look delish!

March 13, 2012 at 8:52 pmI want my taste buds smacked up with this stuff. I will arrive at your house for dinner in (mapquesting now…) 2 hours and 47 minutes.
Do make sure to boil the potatoes, though. I had a bunch of these and left them in a dark drawer and didn’t cook them in any way, and now Jr. is growing a bunch of interplanetary-looking specimens in a huge glass cookie jar with some water in it (he’s a horticultural scientist, what can I say?)
