Herbed Red Potatoes
Herbed Red Potatoes are one of my favorite potatoes to fix. Add butter and the herbs of your choice and they become even more amazing! I change the herbs, each time I make these, for a different taste. I used my garden parsley and chives with this batch. These delicious potatoes only take about 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to cook.
Ingredients
Wash the potatoes and using a potato peeler or a knife, peel
1/2” of the red skin off around the middle of each potato.
Immediately place the peeled potatoes into a
medium saucepan filled with cold water.
Water should be 2” above the potatoes.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until the
potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but still firm, about 20 minutes.
Do not over cook the potatoes.
Drain the potatoes and put them into a bowl.
Melt the butter in the microwave.
Add the herbs, salt and pepper and stir.
Pour butter mixture over the potatoes and serve.

I love making these. I change up which potatoes and herbs I use. The only I thing I don’t do is use the microwave (if I can help it).

I’m a sucker for the microwave for thawing, reheating, melting butter etc. Ours just died a few weeks ago and had to get another the very next day. There are very few things I cook completely in it though.

I use mine in a pinch, like when I forgot to put the baked potato into the oven early enough. For me, knowing it kills nutrients, I try not to use it. Even when I had a full kitchen at my old job, I’d use that over the microwave. So now, I eat lots of salad at work to minimize the nuking.

OOOH Amish goat cheese. We used to go visit there every year when I was a kid. I make an apple butter that my mother said was just like the kind she’d get in PA. One of the best compliments on my cooking.

Wow that was a wonderful compliment! Doesn’t the house smell amazing when you make apple butter? My mother in law came over when I was making it a few years ago and she told me to bottle it up for an air freshener…lol

Yes, it’s an amazing smell. I actually can mine, so I can have it all year long. We also sell some of it to friends for our homeschool projects/books. Also, makes great presents.

Oh my mom would have loved these – she loved those baby new potatoes and the multi-colored fingerling potatoes that you got at the produce markets come Summer. That looks quite tasty – Mom liked hers with alot of sweet butter on them.

I would have liked your mom! I love butter and never use margarine or other substitute when I cook. There is so much flavor in butter and the key to a great dish!

I think you would have liked her too Diane. My mom said the same thing for baking and would not use margarine (no taste and it splatters if you cook an egg in it she would say). She would make a meal of those new potatoes sometimes!
