New Potatoes With Herbs
Delightful small new potatoes sautéed with fresh herbs and butter, offering a tender, flavorful side perfect for spring meals or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes, leaving the skin on, and boil until they start to become tender.
- Drain the potatoes and sauté in a skillet with butter.
- Optionally, slice the potatoes instead of leaving them whole.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding minced garlic or a splash of lemon juice to the butter while sautéing the potatoes. If you don't have fresh herbs, dried basil, parsley, and chives can work in a pinch, but use them sparingly as their flavor is more concentrated. Experiment with other herbs like thyme or dill for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions
These new potatoes are best served warm, garnished with additional chopped herbs for a fresh finish. They pair wonderfully with grilled meats or fish, making them a great side for a summer barbecue. For a complete meal, serve alongside a light salad or consider pairing with a creamy dip like Spinach Sandwich Spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover new potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply sauté them in a skillet with a bit of butter until warmed through, which helps retain their crispy texture. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.
