Baby Potatoes with Butter & Fresh Herbs
This is a wonderful, elegant potato side dish that's not too rich so it's ideal to serve with rich mains like roasts, and light enough to serve with more delicate foods such as seafood (fish, prawns/shrimp, lobster, crab, mixed seafood platter!).It's a classic side dish you will see offered at fine dining restaurants as a less heavy potato side compared to things like Paris Mash (the world's richest mashed potatoes!).

Boil potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot of cold tap water with 1 tbsp salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to medium so they're simmering gently (this stops skin splitting). Cook for ⏱️ 10 - 15 minutes until there's no resistance when pierced with a knife. Alternatively, steam the potatoes.
