Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds new potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and debris. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, finely chop the fresh chives and zest the lemon. Set these aside for later use.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 2-3 minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

In the same pot (or a large pan), melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the cooked potatoes back into the pot.

Step 7

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently toss the potatoes in the melted butter to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Add the chopped chives, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the potatoes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and more salt if needed.

Step 9

Give the potatoes a final gentle toss to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Step 10

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with additional fresh chives or parsley if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Jivey Chivey New Potatoes as a delicious side dish to complement any meal.
