Boiled New Potatoes With Minty Herb Butter

• 3 1/3 lbs whole new potatoes, washed
• 3 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 tbsp chopped mint, plus a few whole leaves
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped chives

1. Halve any large potatoes and place in a large saucepan with larger pieces at the bottom. Cover with boiling water, add a pinch of salt and a couple of mint leaves and simmer gently for about 20 mins.
2. Test by pricking with a skewer; they should be tender without falling apart. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes, so check them after 15 mins.
3. Meanwhile, combine the butter and the chopped herbs in a small bowl.
4. Drain the potatoes. Return to the pan on low heat for 30 seconds, shaking the pan gently to dry them.
5. Add the herb butter and swirl or toss the potatoes so they are well coated. Season and serve in a warmed serving dish.
