Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Wash and scrub the new potatoes under cold running water to ensure they are clean and free of dirt.
Place a pot with a steamer insert on the stove and add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cut any larger new potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, or leave them whole if they are small.
Place the new potatoes in the steamer basket and cover the pot with a lid.
Steam the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through the center.
While the potatoes are steaming, finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and thyme leaves. Mince the garlic clove.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the melted garlic butter over the potatoes and gently toss to coat them evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, chives, and thyme over the potatoes. Add the salt and pepper, then toss again to combine.
Serve the steamed buttery herbed new potatoes warm as a side dish with your favorite meal.
