Ingredients
- 1 lb new potatoes, washed
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Place the new potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes depending on size.
- Drain and Cool Slightly: Drain the potatoes thoroughly and allow them to cool just enough to handle comfortably.
- Toss with Butter and Herbs: While the potatoes are still warm, add the butter and chopped fresh dill. Toss gently so the butter melts and coats each potato evenly.
- Season: Season the potatoes with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix gently but thoroughly to distribute the seasoning.
- Serve Warm: Serve the potatoes warm as a delightful side dish that complements a variety of main courses.
Notes
- Use new potatoes for their tender skin and creamy texture, no need to peel.
- Fresh dill is traditional for Norway-style potatoes, but you can substitute or add other fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
- Adjust butter quantity to preference for a richer or lighter side dish.
- These potatoes are best enjoyed warm but can be served at room temperature.
