Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- for boiling water
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and pat them dry. If the potatoes are larger, cut them in half; otherwise, keep them whole.
Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the potatoes and bring it to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the potatoes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic, chop the parsley, and dill finely.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander, shaking gently to remove excess water.
In the same pot or a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly in the garlic butter.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, dill, black pepper, and a pinch of additional salt (if needed) over the potatoes. Toss gently to distribute the herbs evenly.
Transfer the buttered and herbed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra herbs, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
