How to Make Butter Dill New Potatoes:
Wash and quarter your potatoes
Place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil.
Once your potatoes are fork tender (can be easily pierced with a fork) drain them.
Here’s an option for a large over-the-sink strainer that will for sure hold all your potatoes!
Place your stick of butter or margarine in a microwave safe dish. Add a teaspoon of salt and add a teaspoon of dill.
Now we’re gonna microwave that just until the butter is melted. Stir that up a bit.
Pour the sauce over your potatoes.
Stir to combine!
Now you can serve your butter dill new potatoes from the pot or pour back into your bowl to serve!
Try serving them with pork chops and fried corn.

Whatcha gonna make for us when they go off to college? 😀
Love potatoes, love all your recipes, having a blast looking through them.
My baby is going off for his 2nd year of college. Last year when we dropped him off for the first year, my husband had to drug me and handcuff me to the handle of our truck to get me back home. lol (I’m sorry I’m not very encouraging, am I?) Cherish every second, they go by in nanoseconds.
JL Hudsons in Detroit years ago used to serve up something similar except they cooked theirs in chicken broth. I love making them with the really small new potatoes that have been out the last couple of weeks at the Farmers Market.
Maryann, I remember JL Hudsons potatoes too! My mom used to take us there when we were school shopping! We used to come all the way down from Pt. Huron (about 55-60 miles) and we spent the whole day there shopping, and we usually had lunch there! Thanks so much for the memories~Jan
Christy,
I remember well the day my little girl started kindergarten. She had told me all summer that she was not riding the bus, so I might as well call the school and tell the busdriver not to stop at our house. However, when the bus put out her stop sign and lights started flashing, my daughter ran out the door and got on the bus. I was expecting just a few tears from her and ” I don’t want to go”. The only tears were from me as I watched from the door. But she loved school and did well. Oh, and those potatos look fantastic. Thanks for reminding me again to appreciate the little things.
love potatoes this way. also my little one is only 2 and half but my heart will break when its time for school to start. i know i have been truely blessed to be able to stay home with her.
I make a dish similar to this, too! I make mine with garlic and Rosemary. Delicious!! Gonna have to try this combo next time for sure!! 🙂
Good luck on Monday, Christie!
You may shed a few tears, but school days are great times too and you will adjust. Simple cooking is often the best. Think about a fried egg or a baked potao-not a thing complicated or fancy but loved through the generations.
Christy ……I send you a hug and I do feel for you. It is so hard to let them go but you will see how much they are ready for it.You wIll be OK.
