Herbed New Potatoes

[shannone]

Ingredients
12 small new potatoes
4 teaspoon butter
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley or 1½ teaspoons dried parsley
4 teaspoons minced fresh chives or 1½ teaspoons dried chives
Fresh parsley springs optional for garnish

1.Peel ½ inch strip around the center of each potato and immediately place potatoes in a medium saucepan of cold water.

2.Add enough additional water to the saucepan to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are easily pierced by a fork but firm, about 20 minutes; drain. Do not overcook. Cover to keep warm.

3.Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until melted about 5 to 10 seconds. Stir in minced parsley and chives. Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat.

4.Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl. Garnish with sprigs of parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.

For variety, sprinkle with chopped bacon or finely minced green onions.
