Herbed New Potatoes (Adapted From The Barefoot Contessa) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs small potatoes (white, Yukon or red)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons kosher salt (we find 2 a bit too salty)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
3 tablespoons fresh herbs (your preference, parsley, chives, dill)

Preparation

Melt the butter in a large heavy bottomed pot.
Add the whole potatoes, salt and pepper and toss well.
Cook tightly covered 20 to 30 minutes over low-heat until fork tender. Don't overcook! (check at 20 minutes).
Shake the pot several times to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom or burning. *Don't remove the lid.
Turn the heat off and keep the lid on for another 5 minutes.
Toss gently with herbs and serve hot.
Enjoy!
