Prep time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
For variety, sprinkle with chopped cooked bacon and/or finely minced green onions.

Ingredients

• 12 small new potatoes
• 4 tsp. butter
• 4 tsp. minced fresh parsley or 1 1/3 tsp. diced parsley
• 4 tsp. minced fresh chives or 1 1/3 tsp. dried chives
• fresh parsley sprigs, optional for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Peel ½-in. strip around the center of each potato and immediately place potatoes in a medium saucepan of cold water. Add enough additional water to the saucepan to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are easily pierced by a fork but firm, about 20 min.; drain. Do not overcook. Cover to keep warm. Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH until melted, about 5 to 10 seconds. Stir in minced parsley and chives. Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat. Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl. Garnish with sprigs of parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
