Ingredients

  • pounds baby potatoes red sliced in half (they should all be the same size so they cook evenly)
  • tablespoons butter unsalted cut into tablespoons
  • 0.5 cup parmesan grated
  • 0.8 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper black
  • teaspoon chives fresh finely chopped

Equipment

  • bowl
  • pot
  • sieve
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Use a slotted spoon or hand-held strainer to transfer cooked potatoes to a shallow bowl or serving dish. Reserve hot cooking water. Top potatoes with butter, Parmigiano Reggiano, salt and pepper. Use a fork to smash the potatoes, adding cooking liquid as necessary to make potatoes as creamy as you like (I usually add about a ½ cup total). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  3. Sprinkle fresh chives over top and serve.
