| Peel 1/2-in. strip around the center of each potato and immediately place potatoes in a medium saucepan of cold water. Add enough additional water to the saucepan to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the potatoes are easily pierced by a fork but firm, about 20 minutes; drain. Do not overcook. Cover and keep warm. Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until melted, about 5-10 seconds. Stir in minced parsley and chives. Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat. Spoon the potatoes into a serving bowl. Garnish with sprigs of parsley, if desired. Serve immediately. Variation: For variety, sprinkle with chopped cooked bacon and/or finely minced green onions. |
