Buttery Red Potatoes image

As my grandparents have always called them, "new" potatoes. Sliced red potatoes boiled and then covered in butter sauce. Simple and quick.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

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)

Steps:

  • 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!).
  • Boil potatoes until tender (when a fork can be inserted with ease), about 15-20 minutes.
  • Drain in colander.
  • 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!).
  • Then sprinkle chives on top of potatoes to taste and for a little more color.
  • *Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • *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.
