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.

And sweet Christy, they just keep growing! As much as we’d like to slow it down, it seems to speed up. My bigger two are in college – one’s a SENIOR this year! – and our baby is in high school. Seems like yesterday I was standing in the hallway outside a kindergarten classroom, passing out kleenex to all the other crying mommies. But you already know, your little Katy is going to LOVE school!
And I’m a teacher, too – and I appreciate your encouragement!
Christy, don’t worry about posting simple recipes, those are the best! I can always use a good potato recipe b/c I get bored making the same sides over and over!
And, as a teacher, thanks for the appreciation! It is always nice to hear from parents 🙂
“A lot of times when chefs cook an icon, they keep wanting to do something to it. And that’s when you end up with disasters like pineapple in your coleslaw.” –Linton Hopkins, chef at Holeman & Finch in Atlanta.
Thanks for another iconic “recipe.” That’s what makes me love Southern Plate.
Can’t wait to try tthis!!! It’s going to go great with my meatloaf for the weekend. I also want to try it with fresh chives I have in abundance in my garden and some grated cheese and bacon bits. Maybe a “baked potato” simplified???
Christy, I’ve been teaching for 33 years and my favorite slogan is, “A child may not remember what you teach him, but he will always remember how you made him feel”. That’s why I give lots of hugs in my classroom…..smile. I’m sure your little one wil have an awesome year!
You know, that is so right. I can’t tell you how good I felt the first time Brady came home from kindergarten and said “You know, my teacher really loves me”.
It makes all the difference in the world! Thank YOU for being such a loving person to so many!
Gratefully,
Christy
Oh, for schools FILLED with teachers like you!
I’m a hugger, too — even with my high school students! They need it just as much as the little ones …
Hugs to you Christy its always the hardest when the baby leaves the nest! In 2 weeks you will be fine. 😀 Love these new potatoes but had never made them with dill, only parsley but am gonna give these a go!!
Oh Charlotte, Ive never made them with parsley and I love parsley! you rock!
Thank you so much. I know I’ll muddle through, its just agonizing thinking about it! I’m double stressed this year because I have a book tour coming up in October and I’m not looking forward to being away from my family.
HOpe you have a wonderful weekend!
Gratefully,
Christy
Christy,
I know there are many parent’s and grand-parent’s like myself who are going through the same anxiety as you today. I have sit for my little twin grand-daughter’s since their birth. Monday they started pre-k it’s been a rough week here. They were excited the first day but each day since has not gone as easy. Lot’s of tear’s. I imagine it’s more difficult on the little ones who have been home and not in a daycare. So I do realize they will have to adjust and so will I. But it’s just so hard to let them go right? I feel your pain! ; )

It really is, and it does help that so many of us are in the same boat and we all understand what one another is going through. My mother raises two of her grandkids and as tired as she is somedays, I know she worries about them when they aren’t with her. Brady had a HARD time getting used to preschool, but Katy Rose was pretty much like “okay, Mama, leave now”. She’d fuss if I came even a few minutes early to pick her up! lol
Gratefully,
Christy
