How to Make Buttered And Herbed New Potatoes

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of crystallized salt.
  2. Preheat a vegetable dish or oven-safe serving bowl in a warm oven (approximately 150°F/65°C) while the potatoes boil.
  3. Add 1 pound of small new potatoes to the boiling water.
  4. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and boil for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Drain the potatoes and immediately rinse under cold running water until completely cool.
  6. Gently rub the potatoes between your hands to remove the skins. (Alternatively, you can peel them while still slightly warm).
  7. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  8. Add the potatoes to the saucepan and gently toss to coat them evenly in the melted butter.
  9. Cover the saucepan with a clean kitchen towel or lid.
  10. Cook over the lowest heat setting, using a heat deflector (if desired) for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are heated through and slightly softened. Do not brown.
  11. Wash and finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh mint leaves and 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.
  12. Remove the towel/lid from the saucepan and gently toss the potatoes with the chopped herbs.
  13. Transfer the potatoes to the preheated vegetable dish.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
