Serves 4.
Set a steamer insert into a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add enough water to come up to the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the potatoes, cover and steam the potatoes for 15 minutes or until they are tender.
Transfer the potatoes to a cutting board. Cut the potatoes randomly into smaller pieces. Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with salt and parsley, and serve at once.
Gratitude and treachery are merely the two extremities of the same procession.
You have seen all of it that is worth staying for when the band and the gaudy
officials have gone by.
