Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound New potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added flavor and texture.
Cut any larger potatoes into halves or quarters, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
Fill a pot with about 1-2 inches of water and place a steaming basket inside. Ensure the water level is below the basket to prevent the potatoes from becoming waterlogged.
Add the washed and cut potatoes to the steaming basket and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
Steam the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are steaming, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the steaming basket and place them in a large serving bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the hot potatoes, then sprinkle with the chopped parsley, dill, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately as a side dish, and enjoy!
