As my grandparents have always called them, new potatoes. Sliced red potatoes boiled and then covered in butter sauce. Simple and quick. Ingredients:
5 -10 small red potatoes (amount varies according to your preference or the number of people who will be eating) |
2 tablespoons butter (again, amount varies) or 2 tablespoons margarine (again, amount varies) |
chives (enough to sprinkle on top of potatoes) |
salt and pepper |
6 cups water (enough to cover potatoes and allow to boil) |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil as you slice potatoes thick or thin, leaving the skin on. (I keep my slices potato chip shaped and not too thin!).
2. Boil potatoes until tender (when a fork can be inserted with ease), about 15-20 minutes.
3. Drain in colander.
4. Place potatoes in a big bowl and add plenty of butter/margarine. (I use at least 2-3 tablespoons maybe more, depending on number of potatoes used and whatever our mood happens to be!).
5. Then sprinkle chives on top of potatoes to taste and for a little more color.
6. *Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. *Can add some bacon bits and shredded cheese on top or mixed if you like. I haven't ever tried that, but sounds like it might be good.
