Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb potatoes , chopped or use mini/fingerling
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt , plus more for boiling the potatoes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt.

Notes

NOTES:

  • Gold/yellow/Yukon potatoes are my favorite variety for this recipe but any will do.
  • For everyday meals I use regular potatoes, but when I want the dish to look a little nicer I'll use mini or fingerling potatoes.
