Dill Fingerling Potatoes

by Carrie on July 18, 2010

I took my first trip to the Farmers Market yesterday, I was amazed and in LOVE! It’s about a 45 minute drive but was well worth it. I spent about $16 and got a thing of flowers, fingerling potatoes, green beans, beets, red potatoes, cabbage, dill and mini cucumbers. I thought was a great deal!!!

I knew I wanted to make us a fresh dinner and us some of these yummy things i bought, my mom actually mentioned fingerling potatoes to me and told me she had saw this recipe. Since I had bought dill to to make pickles I figured I would make some of these.

These were super simple to make and tasted great. Adam LOVED them! I will defiantly be making fingerling potatoes again and making these, and trying different spices.

Dill Fingerling Potatoes (From: Barefoot Contessa)

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 pounds fingerling potatoes, rinsed but not peeled
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Directions

Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper, and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don’t overcook. Toss with the dill, and serve hot.

Did you ever try little red potatoes cut in half and cooked like these potatoes and use garlic salt and fresh diced onion for seasoning

No, but I bet that will be good. I will add them to my to-try list.
