How to Know When Parsley Potatoes Recipe Is Done

Your potatoes are done when you stick a fork in them and they are tender. If you use a larger sized potato you might find your potatoes need a bit longer to cook.

But with smaller potatoes, they should be cooked perfectly with the time in the printable recipe card.

Storing Pressure Cooker Potatoes

Go right ahead and store any potatoes you do not eat right away in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Your potatoes will store for 3-5 days in the fridge. Just reheat in the microwave, or warm the potatoes up in a skillet on the stovetop.

Recipe FAQs

What are baby potatoes called?

New potatoes are what baby potatoes are called. They are smaller in size compared to say a russet or Yukon gold. New potatoes are harvested when the leaves are still green, so you get smaller-sized potatoes.

Do you need to peel small yellow potatoes?

The skin on smaller yellow potatoes does not need to be peeled. You will find that the skin is very thin and soft so you can easily eat them.

Can I make this potato recipe on the stovetop?

If you don't want to cook your potatoes in the Instant Pot, you are more than welcome to cook them on the stove. Boil water with your potatoes and once the potatoes are fork-tender, drain.
Then in the pan add butter, seasoning, and spices and enjoy.
