Step 1

Wash potatoes. Add about one-inch of water to a pot that has a fitted steamer basket or can hold a steamer insert.

Step 2

Place potatoes into steamer basket. Cover pot. Turn pot to high. When steam starts to escape from the lid, reduce heat to medium, about ten minutes.

Step 3

Steam until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes. Time varies depending on the size of the potatoes.

Step 4

Transfer potatoes to a medium bowl. Pour melted butter over potatoes. Stir. Season with kosher salt and herbs to taste.
