Just four ingredients (potatoes, butter, garlic and dill), add in a sprinkle of salt & pepper and it’s ready for the table!

What Are New Potatoes?

New potatoes are little potatoes that have been freshly dug out of the ground! These little potatoes are harvested early so they have a high sugar content (it hasn’t converted to starch yet) and very thin skins. The texture tends to be creamier and much less starchy than most other potatoes.

These little spuds stay nice and firm after cooking; there are so many ways new potatoes can be prepared! They can be roasted, boiled, fried, air fried, cooked on a stovetop or in the oven. ingredients to make Garlic Dill New Potatoes on a wooden cutting board

Ingredients and Variations

POTATOES
This recipe is for new potatoes which are thin skinned, slightly sweet and extra creamy. Fingerlings or any thin-skinned potato will work! Just adjust the cooking time for the denser potatoes.

BUTTER
 Mandatory for that creamy flavor! :)

SEASONINGS
 For best results, use fresh herbs. Dill is used in this recipe but add in your favorites… thyme, basil, rosemary, or even fresh oregano!

How to Cook New Potatoes

  1. Boil potatoes and sliced garlic until potatoes are tender (per recipe below).
  2. Stir in fresh dill and butter, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Serve warm.

In this recipe, the potatoes are boiled with slices of garlic in the water. This gives them a subtle, savory flavor, but they can also be roasted on a sheet pan, placed on a BBQ tray and grilled, or even microwaved. Cooking potatoes too long prevents the butter and herbs from sticking as they should.

What to Serve New Potatoes With

We love to serve garlic dill new potatoes with summer favorites like grilled chicken breasts, corn salad and grilled veggies. (I often add a big dollop of sour cream on the side too).

Perfect New Potatoes

  • Baby new potatoes, reds, or fingerlings don’t need to be peeled because the skin is so thin and that’s why this recipe is so great! But if baby new potatoes aren’t available, thin-skinned potatoes (red or Yukon gold) can be chopped and used instead!
  • Dill is very fragile and the entire piece can be used, even the stems.
  • Don’t be afraid to serve garlic dill new potatoes chilled as a potato salad, either!

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things...
