Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
- 1 cup kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the baby red potatoes under cold water and scrub off any dirt.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the water and kosher salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling salted water, ensuring they are fully submerged, and reduce the heat to medium-high.
Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to dry slightly.
Transfer the hot potatoes back into the empty pot and add the unsalted butter. Toss gently until the butter is melted and the potatoes are evenly coated.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives, and sprinkle them over the potatoes along with the freshly ground black pepper. Toss again to combine all the flavors.
Serve immediately as a side dish, garnishing with extra herbs if desired.
