Buttery Red Potatoes

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 5 -10 small red potatoes (amount varies according to your preference or the number of people who will be eating)
• 2 tablespoons butter (again, amount varies) or 2 tablespoons margarine (again, amount varies)
• chives (enough to sprinkle on top of potatoes)
• salt and pepper
• 6 cups water (enough to cover potatoes and allow to boil)

Recipe

• 1 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!).
• 2 boil potatoes until tender (when a fork can be inserted with ease), about 15-20 minutes.
• 3 drain in colander.
• 4 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!).
• 5 then sprinkle chives on top of potatoes to taste and for a little more color.
• 6 *add salt and pepper to taste.
• 7 *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.
