Ingredients

  • 28-32 ounces small baby potatoes, such as baby Yukon gold or red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (1 ounce; 28 grams)
  • Kosher Salt
  • Fresh or dried herbs

Instructions

  1. Wash potatoes. Add about one-inch of water to a pot that has a fitted steamer basket or can hold a steamer insert.
  2. Place potatoes into steamer basket. Cover pot. Turn pot to high. When steam starts to escape from the lid, reduce heat to medium, about ten minutes.
  3. Steam until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Time varies depending on the size of the potatoes.
  4. Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl. Pour melted butter over potatoes. Stir. Season with kosher salt and herbs to taste.
