  • Drain the potatoes for seasoning and service.

To boil potatoes:

  • Place the potatoes in a stockpot and bring the liquid to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat until the liquid simmers. Cook the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are thoroughly heated.

CCP: Heat to 135 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If manufacturer instructions on package or case have a higher temperature, follow those recommendations.

Melt the margarine in a small saucepan, then add the salt, white pepper, and parsley. Keep the saucepan uncovered and gently simmer the mixture for 1 minute.
