Boil the potatoes whole in salted water. I peeled them after boiling the potatoes once they were cooled but they can be peeled before hand.

Drain and allow the potatoes to cool enough to handle. Cut any bigger potatoes in half.

Add the potatoes back to the saucepan, then toss in the butter, salt and pepper, allow to heat through on low until butter has melted then add the chives and toss gently all together carefully not to break the potatoes. Serve immediately.
