Potatoes with Butter and Chives
Total time: 35 minutes
Simple boiled potatoes with a twist: Sautéed in a bit of butter and topped with freshly snipped chives.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 tbs butter
- 2 tbs snipped chives
- salt & pepper
Instructions:
- 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.
- Remove, add salt and pepper if using and serve.
