Herbed New Potatoes

Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 ¹⁄₂ pounds small potatoes, scrubbed.  Cut in half if large.
2 teaspoons kosher salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons mixed fresh green herbs such as parsley, chives, and dill, minced

Instructions
1. Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium heat.  Add potatoes, salt, pepper, and toss well.  Cover pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender when tested.  Shake the pot every 5 minutes or so, without removing the lid, to keep potatoes from sticking. 

2. Turn off heat and let potatoes steam 5 minutes with lid on.  Toss with fresh herbs and serve hot.
