Potatoes with Butter and Chives                                    Time: 35 minutes

2 -3 potatoes
1 tbs butter
2 tbs snipped chives
salt & pepper

Scrub potatoes and cut into eighths - we want large but still bite-size pieces.  Put into a sauce pan and cover with water to which you add 1/4 tsp salt.  Cover and bring to a boil.  When boiling move cover so it is ajar else the potatoes will boil over.  They will, I promise.   Remove from heat when just barely done - a little under done is good(stick a knife in and test - should go in easily), about 15 minutes.  Drain.  In medium nonstick skillet melt butter over medium heat.  When hot add potatoes.  Snip chives with scissors.  When potatoes are just starting to get a golden color (on one or more sides - about 10 minutes) add chives. Turn heat to low and continue to sauté another 10 minutes - while you have your starter.  Remove, add salt and pepper if using and serve.
