Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs baby red potatoes cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 tsp salt for the water
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Garlic salt to taste
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large skillet
  • Cooking spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Begin by washing the baby red potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut them into 1-inch pieces; you can quarter or cut them into 1/8ths if they are larger.
  2. In a large pot, fill it with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then add the cut potatoes. Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Be careful not to overcook them.
  3. Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet, sprinkle with garlic salt to taste, and gently toss to coat the potatoes.
  5. Add 2-3 tablespoons of freshly chopped dill and 1/3 to 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss gently until well combined and the cheese starts to melt.
  6. Transfer the Buttered Red Potatoes with Dill to a serving dish. Garnish with an additional sprinkle of fresh dill and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute unsalted butter with olive oil or coconut oil.
  • Use dried dill as an alternative if fresh dill is unavailable (1 tsp dried = 1 tbsp fresh).
  • Parmesan cheese can be replaced with Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
