New Potatoes with Butter and Herbs
A wonderful way to use fresh potatoes and your favorite herbs. Makes 6 servings.

2 pounds small potatoes
1/2 to 1tsp sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup finely chopped mixed herbs: marjoram, chives, lemon basil, etc. (gardener’s choice)
freshly ground pepper to taste

Scrub the potatoes, but don’t peel them. Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil with the salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, then add the potatoes. Boil over medium heat until the potatoes are fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Drain the potatoes, then toss them in a bowl with the butter and herbs.

Should it be only 2 teaspoons????? That seems like an enormous ammount to use. I know that sea salt is higher in needed minerals than regular table salt, but years in the kitchen say that this is just too much.
