Not republican potatoes, just those little red ones. ;-)
I have been doing them with herbs and garlic lately and they are
pretty good
Cut 10-12 in half. Place them cut side down in a frying pan and cover
about 3/4s of them with water. Add a chunk of butter, a couple cloves
of chopped/crushed garlic, salt and some thyme, chives, tarragon,
parsley or whatever grabs your fancy. I am still playing with that
mix. Simmer 15-20 minutes then crank up the heat and cook it down. As
the water gets cooked off you have to be on top of it tossing them
until you get stuff starting to caramelize without burning. Plate that
up and you got ya something.
