Instructions

Gather all your ingredients for this simple boiled potato recipe.
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the water and let the potatoes cool slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
Cut the boiled potatoes in half and place them in a serving bowl.
Add butter, fresh chives, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Toss gently until the butter melts and the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
