Wash and scrub the baby potatoes to remove any dirt. If the potatoes are large, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, add 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the baby potatoes to the boiling water. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them in a colander and set them aside to allow any excess water to evaporate.
In the same pot (or a large skillet), melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Return the cooked potatoes to the pot or skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the melted butter and garlic.
Sprinkle the fresh dill over the potatoes and season with 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Toss again to distribute the dill evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the buttery dill potatoes to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
