Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any large ones in half to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
In a large pot, add 8 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Carefully add the potatoes to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the chives and zest the lemon, setting them aside.
Step 5
When the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to dry slightly.
Step 6
In the same pot, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Step 7
Add the drained potatoes back to the pot and toss gently to coat them in the melted butter.
Step 8
Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and the chopped chives. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 9
Gently toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the buttery lemon chive mixture.
Step 10
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra chives or lemon zest, if desired. Serve warm.
