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’ve been craving potatoes lately, and I have some red potatoes in the fridge. I love that your posts include the option to print the recipe. I might give that a try today!☀️
Thank you and these are really good! It is a nice change from every day potatoes.
Amazing!!
Thanks red potatoes are the best!
They sure are!
Hi Diane
Thank you for following my romance blog.
Your kitchen blog looks great, I’ll try some of your recipes.
My friend has a kitchen blog at galiskitchen.wordpress.com too. You might find it interesting.
Best wishes – Shona
Thank you Shona and I will check out your friends blog as well!
Simple, but very special with the 2 colours, good idea ! 🙂 thank you – amitiés
Thank you!!!!
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.
There is nothing wrong with being healthy! Good for you!
I try. Although, I’ve been adding goat cheese to my salad lately. My downfall…LOVE goat cheese 🙂
OMG me too but I get mine in Amish Country when we visit twice a year so I don’t have it very much.
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.
These potatoes look so beautiful & tempting !
Thank you they are a hard one to resist!
Looks tasty
Thank you!
Wonderful recipe. This one I will add to my do real soon list. g
Enjoy red potatoes are the best! Thank you geezer94!
Such a pretty and tasty way of serving red potatoes! 🙂
Thank you! Food tastes so much better when it looks good too..lol
So true! 🙂
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!
Oh yes dump in tons of bacon and onion and it is a great meal for me….lol
You always come up with such simple but tasty recipes! You could make it look fancy for a dinner party too.
Aw thank you so much! You would think with as much as I cook that I would entertain. I cook for family and believe it or not, I have never hosted a dinner party…lol
Thank you!😀
I absolutely adore herbed potatoes! My fav is garlic and cilantro but Ill definitely be trying your version here! Thanks for sharing 😁😁
Thank you so much! We have some sort of potato with almost every meal!
Looks so tempting & yummy. Thanks for the follow
You’re welcome I look forward to reading more!
Sure
Amazing.
What was the reason to peel only in the middle.
To look fancy…lol Thank you Rupali!
Oops 🙂
Lol there was nothing wrong with that don’t feel bad!
Delicious and easy… Right up my alley!
Thank you Kellye!
As always, yum, yum. I love white potatoes!
Thank you!
I love the two colours of these potatoes so easy to do and so pretty to look at 🙂
Thank you Carol💕
Potatoes with chives and butter . . . perfection!
Thank you for your kind words!
Is there a scientific cooking reason you peel the centers off the potatoes, or is it just for looks? Genuinely curious. It’s a cool idea regardless! 🙂
Just for looks but it does cut easier when you put them on your plate too.
Nice!
