1. 01

   Boil the Potatoes

   Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they're tender enough that a fork can spear one and it slides right off. Drain the potatoes and let them cool completely.

   Prepare Asparagus

   Snap off the tough, stringy ends of the asparagus spears, then chop the remaining tender stalks into small pieces. If you prefer a milder asparagus flavor, you can pour boiling water over the chopped pieces and let them sit for 2 minutes before draining.
