Over the weekend Kurt and I got our back yard cleaned up and ready for the season. We washed the deck, scrubbed the outdoor furniture and got our little oasis in shape. I enjoy spending time out there this time of the year. Just me in my sweatshirt without mosquitoes or humidity. It doesn’t last too long and the season of bug spray will be upon us very soon. Until then I’ll hang out there as much as I possibly can.
I love fuss free recipes as much as I love the complicated ones. I equally love recipes where leftovers can be turned into a whole new dish. (…or two, or three) Take baby potatoes for example, no peeling necessary definitely fuss free and simple prepare. Dressed with lots of dill, garlic and butter they make an excellent and versatile side dish. What makes them even better is the ability to turn the leftovers into a variety of dishes like a potato salad, skillet smashed potatoes served with sour cream and even a quiche. Possibilities are endless. Cook once, eat a bunch of times.
This recipe couldn’t be any simpler but it’s important to properly season here. Just boil whole baby gold potatoes leaving the skin on, but remember to season the cooking water with a generous amount of salt. Potatoes absorb the salt well, so it’s important to season them while still on the stove. Once done add butter, good amount of garlic and lots of dill. Season with salt and pepper and Vola! Healthy and full of good nutrition. Dilled Baby Potaoes
