Ingredients

1 ¼ pounds new or baby potatoes washed but unpeeled
2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Instructions

Wash the baby or new potatoes but leave them unpeeled. Use organic if possible.
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.

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.
