SIMPLE LEMON PARSLEY POTATOES

THANKSGIVING PARSLEY LEAF POTATOES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450. Pour butter into a large shallow baking pan about 1" deep and tilt to coat bottom completely. Working with 1 potato at a time, cut potato in half, lengthwise. Do not peel.
• Press and center a single parsley leaf on cut side of each potato half and season lightly with salt. (The starch in the potato will adhere the leaf rather like glue.).
• Put potatoes, cut sides down, into the butter in baking pan and roast (do not turn over) until undersides are golden and potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes.
• Potatoes can be kept warm with cut sides up for about 30 minutes (loosley cover with foil.).
• Of course, recipe can be easily altered for any number of servings.

EASY POTATOES WITH PARSLEY

Steps:

• With a vegetable peeler, peel a stripe around each potato. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with 1 inch salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; simmer until potatoes can be easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 10 to 20 minutes.
• Drain well; return to pot. Toss with butter and parsley; season generously with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

LEAFY HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Combine greens in a large bowl, along with parsley, cilantro and chives. Add mint or dill leaves, if you have them on hand. (It's fine if you don't, but the more the merrier.)
• Zest lemon over the greens, then halve and squeeze lemon juice all over everything. Season with flaky salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and finish with a good drizzle of olive oil. The salad should be lightly oiled, and heavy on the flaky salt and lemon juice.

PARSLEY LEAF POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Pour butter into 1 large or 2 small shallot baking pans and tilt to coat. Put potatoes, 1 at a time, on a work surface and halve horizontally. Put a parsley leaf on cut side of each potato half and season potatoes with salt. Put potatoes, cut sides down, in melted butter. Sprinkle potatoes with salt to taste and roast, cut sides down, 35 minutes, or until golden. (Potatoes may be kept warm, covered with foil, about 15 minutes.)

CELERY-LEEK SOUP WITH POTATO AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until meltingly tender, about 7 minutes.
• Add the celery, potato, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze, then cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
• Add the stock and bring to boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the vegetables are fully tender and soft, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves, then stir in 1 cup parsley leaves.
• Working in two or three batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. (It's almost always beneficial to let the soup blend for another minute or two past what seems necessary to emulsify as much as possible.) Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to bowls. Drizzle with olive oil; garnish with reserved celery leaves and parsley, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a drizzle of heavy cream.
