Parsley Boiled Potatoes:

Several red potatoes

In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Boil the carrots until they are slightly tender. Remove them from the water and cut a thin slice out of each carrot lengthwise. Scoop out the contents, leaving a 1-inch shell.

Puree the carrot pieces with mayonnaise, horseradish, grated onion and salt and pepper. Spoon the puree back into the hollow of the carrot.

In a small bowl, mix bread crumbs and 1 teaspoon of butter together until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the carrots. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of butter over the bread crumbs.
