These were delicious! Just chopped some fresh chives from the garden and tossed with a little butter just before serving. Make sure you use kosher salt as most of the other reviewers have mentioned!

Very good with just the right salt, plus we added chopped chives and parsley.
For those who found it salty, as I have seen in other recipes, perhaps the use of table salt vs. kosher salt was to blame. A single teaspoon of table salt contains more salt than a tablespoon of kosher or sea salt - be careful most chefs dont use table salt...Or you cut the potatoes which allows the salt to get in and it would be too much.
