Ingredients

  • 1 lb. new potatoes
  • 1 tsp. sea salt, plus more, to taste
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche
  • 2 tsp. snipped fresh chives
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • In a large pot over high heat, combine the potatoes, the 1 tsp. salt and water to cover by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the empty pot to steam until dry, then transfer to a plate or platter. Using a fork, gently crush each potato to flatten and open the top. Top each potato with a bit of the crème fraîche, sprinkle with the chives, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately. Serves 4.
