Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 Lbs. Fingerling Potatoes washed
  • 5 Tbls Butter Or 3-5 Tbsp of Olive Oil *See Notes
  • 1/2 Cup Chopped Fresh Herbs (Parsley, Chives, Dill, Tarragon, Oregano, etc.)
  • 1 Tsp Salt or to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for 8-10 minutes, until you can place a knife in the middle of one of the larger potatoes and there is no resistance. Drain the potatoes and put them back in the pot.
  • Immediately place in the butter, salt, and pepper. Place the lid on the pot and swirl around to coat the potatoes. (Swirling will keep them from breaking apart).
  • Place in the chopped herbs, cover and swirl the pot again to coat the potatoes. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

1. HERBS:
You can use any single herb or combination of herbs that you like, or that are in season. We love any of the individual herbs listed, but a few of our favorite combinations are:
  • Parsley & Chives
  • Tarragon & Dill
  • Parsley & Oregano (finely choppped)
2. Other Options:
Lemon - add the zest of a lemon and/or juice from 1/2 lemon when you add the butter.
Lemon Salt - Finish with this tasty flavored large flake salt. Lemon Salt.
Olive Oil - you can substitute this for the butter. Start with 3 Tbls of Oil and add more if the potatoes look dry. You can also combine the Butter and Olive Oil, just use 1/2 & 1/2. 
Vinaigrettes - try coating the potatoes with one of our favorite vinaigrettes for something unexpected. I love all things lemon, so any vinaigrette with lemon on potatoes tops my list. Also, our vinaigrette with lemon, garlic, shallot, and capers is excellent, making this like a warm potato salad...but they are all worth a try!
