We had some baby red potatoes and garlic chives in our basket of goodies from the farmers market. A great way to use both. We love garlic so we used the garlic salt and pepper grinder instead of plain table salt. Served as a side to grilled chicken and Italian green beans. -
Simple, easy and delicious - what more could you ask for? I steamed 24 oz. of miniature red potatoes in the microwave, then tossed in a bowl with 3 T. butter and plenty of chives. Made a wonderful side dish that was very flavorful. Made in memory of Papa D. -
Wonderful and sooo easy. Made as directed using fresh chives from the garden. Served with an omlet and toast. Made in memory of Papa D. -

Welcome to my page, Born and raised in Montana and now I’m retired Navy and I live in North East Florida on 5 acres in the country. I have enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. Thanks to everyone that has tried and reviewed my recipes :>)
My review guidelines are as follows:
5 stars - Wonderful ! Perfect as posted and plan to make this recipe again!
4 stars - Liked it a lot and will make again but will probably alter the recipe slightly.
3 stars - OK but to make it again would require major changes to the original recipe to suit my tastes.
2 stars - Really didn't like it. Could be personal preference or the recipe just didn't meet expectations.
