Print This Recipe



INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2-1/2 pounds small white potatoes, about 26
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Melt butter in a Dutch oven or a pot large enough to hold potatoes in 2 layers. Add potatoes, salt, and pepper; cover pot.

Cool over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until potatoes can be pierced easily with a small knife. Shake pot during cooking to toss potatoes.

Turn off heat and allow potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook.

Makes 6 to 8 servings
