Notes
How to store baby potatoes with butter and dill leftovers:
Transfer the potatoes to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat them in the microwave or in a pan on the stovetop. Just be sure to stir them occasionally so that they heat evenly and don’t burn. You can add a teaspoon of butter to refresh them.
Can I freeze these cooked potatoes?
You can freeze cooked baby potatoes, but I recommend not adding fresh dill until after thawing. To freeze: cool the potatoes completely, spread them on a baking sheet to freeze, then store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding dill then.
