Smashed Red Potatoes with Crispy Parsley

Developed April, 2015 as a side dish for kielbasa in mustard sauce. Choose potatoes about the same size.
8 oz small red potatoes
1 T salt
1 T butter
2 T finely minced parsley
1 T finely minced chives or green onions
salt and pepper to taste
Cover potatoes with water in a small saucepan, add the salt, and bring to a gentle boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook gently until easily pierced by a knife point, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Heat the butter in the dry saucepan until it sizzles and begins to brown. Add the parsley and sauté until crisp. Add back the potatoes, add the chives and toss to coat. Off heat, crush lightly with a potato masher. Add salt. pepper, and extra butter to taste. Serves two.
