Description

A simple and delicious recipe for herbed buttered potatoes, perfect as a side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds small yellow potatoes (or other waxy potatoes like red, new, Yukon gold or fingerling potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  2. Wash the potatoes and cut them in half if small (or dice into bite-sized pieces if they are larger).
  3. When the water is boiling, add the potatoes and boil for 12 to 18 minutes until fork tender.
  4. Drain and remove the potatoes to a bowl.
  5. Gently toss them with the butter, chopped chives, fresh ground pepper, and 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or more or less to taste: salt until the flavor pops!).

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can use olive oil instead of butter.
  • This recipe can be customized with different herbs to taste.
