NEW POTATOES WITH LEMON AND CHIVES

1 1/2 pounds new potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons snipped chives
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper

Peel a band of skin from around center of each potato. Add salt to 1-inch water in saucepan and bring to boil. Add potatoes and cover pot, cooking until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain water from pan, remove cover and place a clean folded towel directly on potatoes. Cook potatoes for 2 minutes more to dry them.

Melt butter; add all remaining ingredients. Add butter mixture to potatoes and toss to coat.
