These are the most wonderful potatoes. My family all really love them. How nice to have wonderful and easy in the same recipe. When new potatoes aren't available I have used the bags of very small potatoes available in any supermarket. This recipe is too good to be left for only one time of year!

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 lbs small potatoes (white, Yukon or red)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2-2 teaspoons kosher salt (we find 2 a bit too salty)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons fresh herbs (your preference, parsley, chives, dill)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed pot.
  • Add the whole potatoes, salt and pepper and toss well.
  • Cook tightly covered 20 to 30 minutes over low-heat until fork tender. Don't overcook! (check at 20 minutes).
  • Shake the pot several times to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom or burning. *Don't remove the lid.
  • Turn the heat off and keep the lid on for another 5 minutes.
  • Toss gently with herbs and serve hot.
  • Enjoy!

BUTTERED AND HERBED NEW POTATOES

This is a wonderful recipe that I got years ago from Graham Kerr, aka The Galloping Gourmet. I love that he always warmed a dish at the beginning to put the end product in. This is the recipe I first bought my heat deflector for. I also love his methods for cooking things -- such as to cover this with a cloth. The addition of mint makes this special. I hope you enjoy it -- we do!

I make these potatoes often for my husband and me. They're easy to prepare and have a nice dill flavor. We eagerly await the start of farmers market season to get garden-fresh new potatoes. -Vi Neiding, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
