RED POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Bring a 2 quart sauce pot half full of water to a boil.
• While water is coming to a boil dice potatoes to 1/4 inch cubes.
• Add cubed potatoes to boiling water and cook on a slow boil until just fork tender (still firm).
• Drain in a colander and return potatoes to pot.

BOILED POTATOES WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• Place butter in a serving bowl.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool until potatoes can be handled; cut potatoes in half.
• Place potatoes into serving bowl with butter, season with salt and black pepper, and toss with chives until potatoes are coated.

NEW POTATOES IN CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine butter, chives, pepper, and salt to taste.
• If desired, with a channel knife, cut two intersecting strips around middle of each potato.
• In a large saucepan, combine potatoes with salted water to cover by 1 inch and simmer until just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and add to butter mixture, tossing to combine.
• Serve potatoes warm.

SALT POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Bring potatoes, salt and 6 cups water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the salt has dissolved. Lower to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Pour the water and potatoes into a colander in the sink and leave to air-dry for 5 minutes; you will see the salt start to form on the outside of the potatoes.
• Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, then pour the melted butter and sprinkle the chives over the top. Toss together, then serve immediately.
