Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 lb baby red potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt for seasoning the water
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter adds richness and flavor
  • garlic salt to taste; enhances the overall flavor
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh dill provides a fresh, aromatic touch
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded, for a deliciously cheesy finish

Instructions

Instructions

  • Begin by washing the baby red potatoes thoroughly under running water. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, quartering them or cutting them into 1/8ths if they are larger. This ensures even cooking.
  • In a large pot, fill it with water and add 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the prepared potatoes. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, carefully drain them in a colander. Allow them to sit for a moment to let the excess water escape.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Allow it to bubble slightly, which will enhance its flavor.
  • Add the drained potatoes to the skillet with the melted butter. Sprinkle garlic salt to taste and toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 2-3 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill. For a cheesy twist, add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese, mixing until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are well coated.
  • Transfer the Buttered Red Potatoes with Dill to a serving dish. Garnish with additional dill or Parmesan if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
