Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds petite tri-colored or gold potatoes
1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh 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.
