Ingredients
- 1 kg / 2 lb baby potatoes / new potatoes (, about 3cm/1.2" round ideal (look for same size ones))
- 1 tbsp salt (, for cooking (Note 1))
- 30 g / 2 tbsp unsalted butter ((no need to melt))
- 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh dill (, finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp chives (, finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp parsley (, finely chopped)
Steps
-
Boil potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot of cold tap water with 1 tbsp salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to medium so they're simmering gently (this stops skin splitting). Cook for 10 - 15 minutes until there's no resistance when pierced with a knife. Alternatively, steam the potatoes.
-
Steam dry: Drain in colander then leave for a minute to let the potatoes steam dry (if wet, butter won't stick).
-
Toss with butter: Transfer to a bowl, add salt, pepper and butter. Toss to melt and coat.
-
Add herbs just before serving. Stir through, transfer to serving bowl and serve warm!
