Place each baby potato in the bowl of a wooden spoon and make cuts crosswise from one end to the other, about ⅛ inch apart, stopping about ¼ inch from the bottom. Side Note: The wooden spoon will stop you from cutting the potato all the way through. You can also set the potatoes on two chopsticks.
Place the potatoes on a small baking sheet, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil, season them with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, and toss to coat.
Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the potato centers are tender and the skin is crispy. Remove from the oven.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and chives; mix well.
Drizzle the herb garlic butter evenly over each potato. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
