Ingredients

1. 5 medium baking potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3. Salt and freshly ground pepper
4. 3 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

1. Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes; drain. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and shake over moderately high heat to dry them out for 1 minute.
2. Melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet. When the foam subsides, add the potatoes and cook over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

Make Ahead

The potatoes can be prepared through Step 1 and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
