Red potatoes with lemon butter and fresh herbs!

This is a great side dish for any kind of meat or fish.  First, the shopping list!

List
Red or white little potatoes (I think I used 6-8 medium sized ones, a little smaller than a tennis ball)
4 tbs butter
1 lemon
fresh parsley (I told you, I do not let fresh herbs go to waste!)
fresh basil (or just buy the tube of fresh basil in the produce section, that's what I do)
salt
pepper


1. Cut your potatoes in four big chunks and put in a large pot.  Fill with water until all the potatoes are under water.  Bring water to a boil for 15-20 minutes.  You know they're done when you can slide a fork or knife in and out of a potatoe with east, no crunchy feeling.

2. While the potatoes are boiling, you can rinse your herbs in water and then chop the parsley and basil.  You should have about 1/4 cup of fresh parsley and the same for fresh basil, or if you use the tube use about 2 tbs of basil.

3. When the potatoes are cooked, drain water out and put the potatoes back in the pan with the butter, fresh herbs and squeeze 1/2 lemon's juice in there too.  Just use a sprinkle, about 1/8-1/4 tsp of salt and about 1/4-1/2 tsp of pepper.  Stir this all around in the pot so the potatoes soak up the butter and lemon and all the yummy herb flavors and you're done!  The potatoes will get a little mashed in the stirring process, so don't worry, it's going to be delicious.  Taste and add more of whatever seasoning you think it needs, if any!  The lemon is a great sub for extra salt in this side dish.
