Parsley Potatoes

We place the washed potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. We bring the water to a boil, add some salt, and then lower the heat to a simmer. We cook until fork tender.
We drain the potatoes in a colander. After a few minutes, we halve them and sprinkle them with the lemon juice on the cutting board.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Cover the potatoes with cold water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, add some salt, and simmer until fork-tender.
Drain and let them sit a few minutes. Halve them on a cutting board and sprinkle with the lemon juice.
