Herbed New Potatoes

I made these babies as part of our Valentine's dinner. They were a huge hit - even the kiddos devoured them!!

8-10 red potatoes
4 Tbsp. melted butter
2 Tbsp. minced chives
2 Tbsp. minced green onions
soft "real" bacon bits

Peel 1/2 inch strip around the center of each potato and place immediately in pot of cold water. Add enough additional water to cover potatoes by a couple inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork (about 25 minutes). Do not overcook or you'll end up with mashed potatoes!!
Melt butter. Stir in minced chives and green onions. Pour mixture over new potatoes. Sprinkle with desired amount of bacon.
