Ingredients

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 1/2 pounds small white or Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed but not peeled
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh green herbs, such as parsley, chives, and dill

Directions

Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook! Toss with the herbs, and serve hot.

delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I never thought of not boiling potatoes and am glad that Ina has let me in on this secret. The potatoes were creamy and... seasoned to perfection. Thumbs up for this one!Read more

Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I bought small white potatoes, but cut them in half anyway- this will reduce the cooking time. I'm going to try this with... 1/2 butter and 1/2 olive oil. My whole family though they were great! Read more

Very Good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was so easy to make. To the people who didn't have good luck with this recipe: I sugest you pay attention to the type... of cookware being used for this dish. It is well worth investing in a few goo pieces if you want "fool proof" recipes.Read more

I made this the other night. I used fresh Italian parsley, a little dill, thyme and oregano. I thought it was fairly quick... and very easy. Everyone in my family liked it.Read more

Easy side dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This is a nice, easy, low effort side dish. It did take about twice as long as the recipe said, but that was my error. My... dutch oven was a bit too big for the amount of potatoes I was cooking. My own common sense failed me on this one :) Read more

Never fails to deliver
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been making this recipe for a long time. To the person who commented that there is no oven temperature listed....... hello? A Dutch Oven is a heavy pot with a fitted lid! You cook these on a stovetop, which works well for me since I don't have a double oven. Sometimes I use olive oil, instead of butter-- Fingerling potatoes work beautifully with this recipe, since they are small and cook pretty fast. Also, if you give the potatoes a small "whack" to give them a small crack, they will cook faster. Love this entire menu that Ina made, so I cannot wait to make the rest of the recipes.Read more
