Herbed New Potatoes

Ingredients

• 12 small new potatoes
• 4 teaspoons butter
• 4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley (or 1 1/3 teaspoons dried)
• 4 teaspoons minced fresh chives (or 1 1/3 teaspoons dried)
• Fresh parsley sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. Peel a 1/2-inch strip around the middle of each potato and put them straight into a saucepan of cold water.
2. Add water to cover by 2 inches, bring to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until fork-tender but still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
3. Melt the butter in the microwave (5 to 10 seconds), stir in the parsley and chives, pour over the potatoes and toss.
4. Spoon into a serving bowl, garnish with parsley sprigs if you like, and serve right away.

Notes

Serves 4. Prep 10 minutes, cooking 20 minutes.

Variation: sprinkle with chopped cooked bacon and/or minced green onions.
