For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter slightly before tossing with the potatoes. Watch it carefully to prevent burning! A sprinkle of flaky sea salt just before serving adds a lovely textural element and enhances the flavor. These potatoes are best served immediately. However, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the potatoes in a large pot and cover completely with cold, salted water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. (5 minutes)
03
StepOnce boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer gently until the potatoes are fork-tender. This should take approximately 12-18 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. Start checking for doneness around 12 minutes.
04
StepCarefully drain the potatoes in a colander. Allow them to steam dry for a minute or two. (2 minutes)
05
StepReturn the drained potatoes to the warm pot. Add the softened butter and chopped chives. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
06
StepGently toss the potatoes until the butter is melted and evenly coats each potato. Be careful not to mash them.
07
StepTransfer the potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with extra fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
