Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes well and boil until soft; drain well on paper towels.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before serving. If you don't have dill, fresh parsley or chives can work as substitutes. Also, using olive oil instead of butter can enhance the dish's health factor, aligning it with various vegetarian recipes for a lighter twist.
Serving Suggestions
These dill potato wedges make a delightful side dish for grilled meats or fish, pairing wonderfully with a zesty dipping sauce. They can also complement a fresh salad or be served alongside Aunt Mattie'S Refrigerator Rolls for a hearty meal. For a complete dinner, try them with a light yogurt dressing.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the potato wedges in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes. They will have a slightly different texture but will still be delicious. Avoid starchy potatoes like Russets as they may become too mushy when boiled.

To add some heat, sprinkle in some cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes along with the other seasonings. You can also serve them with a spicy dip, such as sriracha mayo, to enhance the flavor profile.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the potatoes ahead of time. Boil and season them, then refrigerate. When ready to serve, simply pan-fry them until golden and crispy. This can save time during meal prep, especially when hosting a gathering.
