Preparation

Step 1

Peel 1/2" 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". Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are easily pierced by a fork but are firm, about 20 minutes; 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.
