Steps:
- Place potatoes in a medium saucepan; add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat; cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 25 minutes.
- Drain potatoes; return to pan. Add cream and butter; mash coarsely using a masher. Stir in chives and basil until evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Select the Right Potatoes: Choose small, round red potatoes that are firm and smooth, without any bruises or blemishes.
- Scrub Thoroughly: Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Parboil the Potatoes: Parboiling helps to ensure that the potatoes are cooked through evenly. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Melt the Butter: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. You can use unsalted or salted butter, depending on your preference.
- Add the Potatoes: Once the butter is melted, add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Sauté the potatoes for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Season to Taste: Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Garnish with Chives: Before serving, garnish the potatoes with chopped chives. Chives add a fresh, herbaceous flavor to the dish.
