Boiled Potatoes With Butter Recipes

BUTTERY BOILED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce heat slightly and simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes (time will depend on size of potatoes).
• Drain potatoes and return to pot. Add butter, salt and pepper and stir gently until the potatoes are covered with butter.

BUTTERY RED POTATOES

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.

BOILED POTATOES WITH CHIVES

Steps:

• Place butter in a serving bowl.
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool until potatoes can be handled; cut potatoes in half.
• Place potatoes into serving bowl with butter, season with salt and black pepper, and toss with chives until potatoes are coated.

BOILED POTATOES WITH DILL

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a pot, cover with water; add dill and salt. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

NEW POTATOES IN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and save about 1/2 cup cooking water in the pot.
• Add 2 or 3 potatoes pieces back into the pot with the cooking water and mash them to thicken the sauce a bit. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in green onions. Return hot potatoes to the pot and stir gently until coated in the sauce.
• Let sit until potatoes soak up the butter sauce, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot.

BASIC BOILED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a Dutch oven or stockpot and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook for 15-30 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Serve eight potatoes with butter and parsley if desired. Refrigerate remaining potatoes.

BOILED POTATOES WITH BUTTER AND MINT

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine potatoes and salt. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a generous 1/2 inch and set the pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a vigorous simmer. Cook potatoes just until tender and creamy inside, 10 to 25 minutes depending on size.
• Reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid, gently drain the potatoes and return them to the stove. Add butter, garlic and reserved cooking liquid to the pot and set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, swirling the pan and basting as needed so that the liquid coats the potatoes until they are well glazed, about 5 minutes.
• Tear the mint leaves into small pieces, stir them very gently into the potatoes, and take the pot off the heat. Squeeze on just enough lemon to add brightness, not sourness; taste as you go. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

LEMON-BUTTER NEW POTATOES

Drain potatoes and place in a serving bowl. Pour butter mixture over potatoes; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with parsley.
