I love new baby red potatoes. They're simple to prepare and you don't need much to make them delicious. You don't even need to bother with peeling the skin. Actually the thin skins are delicious; crisp with a sprinkling of course salt. Mmmm.

Ingredients
1 1/2lbssmall red potatoes, cut in half or quartered to make 3/4-inch thick pieces
2Tbspchives or green onion, chopped, plus more to garnish
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 Tbsp butter and 2 Tbsp olive oil. Once butter is melted and hot, arrange potatoes in the skillet, cut-side-down in one layer. Cook uncovered and undisturbed 8-10 minutes or until golden brown crust forms on the bottoms.
Turn potatoes then cover and cook another 5 minutes or until golden brown on the second side, you'll hear it spit and splatter under the lid; just be careful when you first lift of the lid as juices from the lid can dribble into the pan and splatter. Keep the wee ones away from the stove. In hind sight, a dutch oven with taller walls might have been a better choice to cook these.
Turn the potatoes again, cover and cook another 5 minutes or until you can easily pierce potatoes with a knife. Remove from heat and sprinkle with salt & pepper (I used about 3/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper), toss with 2 Tbsp chives. Sprinkle with more fresh chives just before serving and enjoy.
