Chervil’s delicate anise flavor pairs with butter and fleur de sel to add richness to spring’s first baby potatoes.

What to buy: Chervil is available at gourmet grocery stores and farmers’ markets. If you can’t find it, substitute a mixture of Italian parsley and tarragon.

Fleur de sel is a hand-harvested sea salt that is moister than other salts and has a nice crunch and a distinct mineral taste—all qualities that stand out in this dish. It can be found at gourmet grocery stores.

  • Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of heavily salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat and set a steamer basket inside. Reduce heat to low so the water is simmering.
  • Place potatoes in the steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam potatoes until they are fork tender, about 1 hour. Remove the steamer basket from the pot, drain remaining water, and place potatoes back in the pot to steam dry, about 5 minutes.
  • Add butter and season with freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir until potatoes are coated in butter. Transfer potatoes to a serving tray or a large plate, sprinkle with chervil and fleur de sel, and serve immediately.
