Directions

5 mins to prep

20 mins to cook

  1. Step 1

    Place the potatoes unpeeled in a pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until a knife slides in easily to the potato when skewered.

  2. Step 2

    Drain the potatoes, retaining 40ml of the cooking water. Remove the potatoes from the pot.

  3. Step 3

    Mix the retained cooking water (while it’s still hot) in the pot together with the butter, herbs, salt and pepper, stirring until everything is combined.

  4. Step 4

    Add the potatoes back into the pot and coat well in the butter and herbs mixture before serving.
