Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds baby red potatoes
• 1 cup kosher salt
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 8 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the baby red potatoes under cold water and scrub off any dirt.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the water and kosher salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling salted water, ensuring they are fully submerged, and reduce the heat to medium-high.

Step 4

Cook the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to dry slightly.

Step 6

Transfer the hot potatoes back into the empty pot and add the unsalted butter. Toss gently until the butter is melted and the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 7

Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives, and sprinkle them over the potatoes along with the freshly ground black pepper. Toss again to combine all the flavors.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a side dish, garnishing with extra herbs if desired.
