Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the new potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
If the potatoes are large, cut them into halves or quarters to ensure even cooking. Leave smaller potatoes whole.
In a large pot or saucepan, add 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the new potatoes to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh dill and set it aside.
When the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them sit for 1-2 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Return the drained potatoes to the pot or transfer them to a large serving bowl.
Add the unsalted butter to the warm potatoes. Gently toss until the butter is fully melted and coats the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the potatoes and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Give everything a gentle toss to distribute the dill and seasoning.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish. Enjoy!
