Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

16 baby red potatoes (about 1 - 1 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a medium size sauce pan and cover them with water. Bring them to a boil and continue boiling until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and carefully place them in a large bowl. If you dump the potatoes into the bowl, they will break and the skins will rub off the potatoes.
  • Add the butter and with a soft spoonula or spoon, toss them gently until all the potatoes are well covered. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Serve warm with extra butter for dipping. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds red potatoes (large or baby)
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped chives or fresh thyme, oregano, Italian parsley or dill (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for boiling)
Other seasonings: Grated or shredded Parmesan cheese, Pecorino cheese, or feta cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil with 1 tablespoon kosher salt.
  • Wash the potatoes. Dice them into 3/4 to 1″ wide bite-sized pieces if they're large, or cut them in half if they are small (you can also boil baby red potatoes whole). Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and boil 12 to 15 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork (you may need longer if boiling whole).
  • Drain and remove the potatoes to a bowl. Gently toss them with the butter, herbs, fresh ground black pepper and ¾ teaspoon kosher salt (or more or less to taste: add salt until the flavor pops!).
