Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds new potatoes or baby potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash potatoes and cut in half if larger than bite-sized.
  2. Peel garlic cloves and slice each clove into 2-3 slices.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and garlic.
  4. Boil until potatoes are tender when poked with a fork, about 12-14 minutes.
  5. Drain potatoes & garlic well and place in a bowl.
  6. Stir in butter and dill and season with salt & pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Baby new potatoes, reds, or fingerlings don’t need peeling because the skin is so thin!
  • If baby new potatoes aren’t available, thin-skinned potatoes (red or Yukon gold) can be chopped and used instead!
  • Dill is very delicate and the entire piece can be used, even the stems!
  • Cooking potatoes too long can make them water and prevent the butter and herbs from sticking as they should.
  • Add other fresh herbs like oregano, chives, or parsley. If using sage or rosemary, they should be cooked a little bit in the butter before adding the potatoes.
  • Leftover new potatoes can be chilled and added to potato salad too!
