These are the most wonderful potatoes. My family all really love them. How nice to have wonderful and easy in the same recipe. When new potatoes aren't available I have used the bags of very small potatoes available in any supermarket. This recipe is too good to be left for only one time of year!

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed pot.
  2. 2
    Add the whole potatoes, salt and pepper and toss well.
  3. 3
    Cook tightly covered 20 to 30 minutes over low-heat until fork tender. Don't overcook! (check at 20 minutes).
  4. 4
    Shake the pot several times to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom or burning. *Don't remove the lid.
  5. 5
    Turn the heat off and keep the lid on for another 5 minutes.
  6. 6
    Toss gently with herbs and serve hot.
  7. 7
    Enjoy!

These were great, and very easy! I used baby new potatoes and turned the heat up to low/med as my low was not enough to get these cooking, but once I did that they cooked quickly and easily and the aroma in the house was wonderful. Even my toddlers enjoyed them - family friendly tasty recipe — thank you for sharing!

    Yum! Quick and easy. I used a package of mixed tiny potatoes from the grocery store - white, red... and blue ones, too!

    These potatoes are so good and so easy to make! I usually do a mixture of small Yukon Gold and red and I always add some minced garlic in towards the end. These potatoes have become a staple at our house!!
