Instructions

Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tablespoon of salt.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10–15 minutes until tender when pierced with a knife.
Drain and let the potatoes sit for 1–2 minutes to steam-dry.
Return the warm potatoes to the pot and toss with melted butter, salt, and black pepper.
Just before serving, mix in chopped dill, chives, and parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

Switch up herbs with thyme, tarragon, or rosemary for variety.
Add garlic butter or lemon zest for extra depth and brightness.
Pierce or halve potatoes after cooking for better flavor absorption.
Reheat gently in a pan with extra butter; avoid microwaving.
Always add fresh herbs again after reheating for best flavor.
