Ingredients for Baby Potatoes With Chives

  • Baby Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

How to Make Baby Potatoes With Chives

  1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove a thin strip of peel in a band around the center of each potato (optional, for visual appeal).
  2. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan.
  3. Cover the potatoes with cold water, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Generously salt the water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 12-15 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes.
  6. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander.
  7. Return the potatoes to the saucepan.
  8. Add the butter to the pan.
  9. Gently stir the potatoes over medium heat until the butter is melted and coats the potatoes evenly.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the chives, salt, and pepper to taste.
  11. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
