You’re welcome Natasha 🙂
can you squeeze lemon juice after u prepare the parsley potatoes it would it alter the taste
Yes, the lemon juice will overpower the delicate flavours of this dish. But I’m all for experimentation lol!!
Let’s see…Why don’t you try adding it first to the melted butter and then continue with the seasonings? It may work there but not too much maybe 2 tsp. Write me and tell me how it comes out 🙂
just tried it, came out great! coincidentally i was cooking it while watching pirates of the caribbean..
hi do you use the flat leave parsley or curly parsley?
It doesn’t matter use whatever you have 🙂
