Preparation Steps
  1. Wash and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Place in salted water and boil gently for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam dry.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine unsalted butter and honey over medium heat. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly bubbly. Remove from heat.
  3. Transfer warm, drained potatoes to a mixing bowl. Pour honey butter sauce over them and gently toss to coat evenly.

  5. Sprinkle with salt, freshly cracked pepper, and fresh herbs. Cook briefly for 1-2 minutes to adhere seasoning. Adjust seasoning as necessary.
