Potatoes with Sour Cream

• 1 lb. potatoes
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper

Peel the potatoes thinly, and cook in salted water till just undercooked. Drain and cut the potatoes into dice. Melt the butter in a frying-pan, brown the potatoes in the fat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the chives and cream, cover, and allow to simmer over a very low heat till all the cream is absorbed. Serve hot as an accompaniment.
