Baby Potatoes with Herbed Butter

With all the craziness that surrounds the holiday season, make it easier on yourself by preparing stress-free dishes. I always have potatoes in my kitchen and wanted to cook something easy and minimal, so I decided to boil some and drizzle with herbed butter.

This classic side dish is the perfect accompaniment to your holiday feast. You can substitute any kind of potatoes and fresh herbs, but I used what I had on hand.
