Instructions
-
Boil the Potatoes
Start by filling a medium-sized pot with water and adding a generous pinch of coarse salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, making sure the water is well-seasoned. -
-
Cook the Potatoes
Once the water is boiling, add the new potatoes. Allow them to cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork, but not mushy. You want them firm enough to hold their shape when tossed with the other ingredients. -
Drain the Potatoes
Once cooked, drain the potatoes thoroughly. You can reserve a bit of the cooking liquid to adjust the consistency if you like, but it’s not necessary for this dish. -
Season the Potatoes
While the potatoes are still warm, toss them gently with the unsalted butter and olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. -
Add Fresh Dill
Finally, sprinkle the fresh dill leaves over the seasoned potatoes, and give them a final toss to evenly distribute the dill. The warmth of the potatoes will release the fragrant oils of the dill, infusing the dish with a refreshing, herbaceous flavor. -
Serve
Serve the dilled new red potatoes immediately, garnished with a few extra sprigs of fresh dill if desired.

Recipe Notes
- This recipe works best with small new red potatoes, which have a creamy texture and thin skins that cook quickly.
- Fresh dill is essential for the authentic taste of this dish, though you can substitute dried dill if necessary. Just be sure to reduce the quantity by about half.
- If you prefer a richer taste, you can substitute the olive oil with additional unsalted butter.
