Ingredients

2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 cup salted butter, cubed
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram

Directions

1 Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
