Looking for a incredibly simple side dish for the holidays? Although these boiled baby (or new) potatoes take very little work and ingredients, they look stunning and will please everyone at the table. I also make these for weeknight meals along with dishes such as Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken Tenders, Slow Cooker Balsamic Shredded Beef, and Grilled Balsamic Herb Chicken.
The key to making these baby potatoes look appetizing and festive is finding an assortment of blue, red, and yellow baby potatoes. I see these all over the place now, even at Aldi and Walmart. The dried parsley flakes also add a little pop of color that add to the holiday feel.
I’ve given a range on the seasonings, so you will have to taste and adjust to your liking. It’s hard to mess these up, though. You won’t believe how easy and delicious these Boiled Baby Potatoes are!
