Broiled Potatoes

This method is especially nice when used on new potatoes or creamy-fleshed potatoes like yellow Finnish or Rose Firs. If they really are fresh, they will be quite a treat, and you should allow, as with fresh corn, several small potatoes per person. To enjoy the flavor of freshly dug potatoes, use simply unsalted butter, salt, and pepper. Herb butters, however, are also quite good with potatoes.
