Spring potatoes

Fresh, easy, good.

2-3 pounds red potatoes (new potatoes), chopped into quarters/wedges
salt for cooking
3-4 tbs butter
3 tbs chopped chives
salt to taste
pepper to taste
*and because I like cheese - grated cheddar or Parmesan*

In a large pot, heat 2-3 quarts water + 1 tbs salt to boil. Add red potatoes. Cook until fork easily pierces potato (approx 15-20 min) but potato not falling apart. Drain. In large frying pan on medium-high heat (or the same nonstick cooking pot), melt butter. Add chives and throw in potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. And because I like cheese, I always throw some cheddar on top until it gets a bit melty and serve the potatoes warm.
