Herbed New Potatoes

By rossboys

Ingredients

• 12 small new potatoes
• 4 tsp butter
• 4 tsp minced fresh parsley or 1-1/3 tsp dried parsley
• 4 tsp minced fresh chives or 1-1/3 tsp dried chives

Preparation

Step 1

Peel 1/2" strip around the center of each potato and immediately place potatoes in a med saucepan of cold water.

Add enough additional water to the saucepan to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over med-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 sec. 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.
