Directions
Herbed New Potatoes (Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa),These are the most wonderful potatoes. My family all really love them. How nice to have wonderful and easy in the same recipe. When new potatoes aren’t available I have used the bags of very small potatoes available in any supermarket. This recipe is too good to be left for only one time of year!,I was skeptical at first because I had only cooked potatoes, by steaming, baking or pan frying. Anyway this worked great! Not very much oil/butter is needed, as the potatoes actually steam in the water within them. When mine were done after 20 minutes, they were too moist, and if they were left that way, would have crumbed apart, or turned to mush, upon trying to eat them with a fork, so I broiled them for 5 minutes, then mixed them about, and broiled them another 5 minutes. I might have had the pot temp too low, as I didn’t want them to burn. So, if I’d used a higher temp, I might not have had to broil them. I added, garlic powder, chive flowers (they are edible! Just pop a pom pom flower head off a plant, rinse and tap, turn the flower head upside down, and pinch the green center, then pinch off the little purple flowerlettes, and add to dishes. The flowerless can be frozen for later, if they’re processed before they wilt. They taste stronger than chive leaves, so few are needed, to impart their taste), parsley, tiny bit of powdered rosemary (the powdered form, is very potent) Thyme, onion powder and salt. I also diced the potatoes into a large dice.,Added broiling, chive flowers and other herbs & spices.
