After steaming, directions read to place the potatoes in a skillet with butter and parsley, but no info on whether to cook them further, or just let the butter melt. And if no further cooking, why a skillet and not just a bowl, or serving dish?

Excellent simple side dish. Keep skins on, medium sized potatoes took 20-25 min. Steamed ahead of time, sautéed in butter and parsley right before serving.

A heated skillet, I assumed To keep them warm? And let the butter melt?

Easy and delicious. Good, too, with buttery tasting Yukon gold but I have used any potato I have on hand and they all work.
