Ingredients

  • 1 pound new or red potatoes (preferably baby)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh peas (from about 1/2 pound shelling peas), either raw or lightly steamed

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes in a medium pot of salted water and bring to boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until easily pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, or drain.

  2. In a mixing bowl, or the same pot, add the herbs, salt, and oil to the potatoes. Smash with a fork or a potato masher until they form a coarse mash. Taste for seasoning, fold in the peas, and serve alongside a simple piece of grilled fish or meat.
