    Garlic dill potatoes ingredients

    • 1½ pounds Small Potatoes, (gold or red)
    • 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
    • 3-4 Garlic Cloves, minced
    • 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped
    • 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt, divided, or to taste
    • Black Pepper, to taste

    Cook the potatoes

    • Add the potatoes to a medium pot. Cover the potatoes with water by 1-2 inches and set them over high heat. Bring the water to a boil.
    • It should take about 8-10 minutes for the water to come to a full boil.
    • Add 1 teaspoon of salt and continue boiling for 15- 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. A knife should go through the potatoes easily without resistance.
    • Drain the potatoes completely. When they’re cool enough to handle, cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size. Then, place the potatoes in large bowl.

    How to make garlic dill potatoes

    • When the potatoes are cut and ready, gently heat the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    • When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the garlic. Gently cook the garlic, stirring constantly for about 30-45 seconds.
    • The garlic should be sizzling at this point. Remove the skillet from the heat so the garlic doesn’t burn.
    • Add the dill, the remaining teaspoon of salt and the pepper. Stir the oil well to combine the ingredients.
    • While the oil is still hot, carefully pour it over the cut potatoes, toss gently to coat.

    Cook’s Notes

    Take care when cooking garlic, it burns quickly, and becomes pretty much inedible. Follow these tips for perfectly sautéed garlic.

    • Always cook garlic over gentle heat, keep the heat on medium or medium-low.
    • Make sure that the cooking oil is not too hot or smoking when you add the garlic. If the oil is too hot, the garlic will burn as soon as it hits the pan. It will burn before you can even react.
    • Stir garlic frequently while cooking, do not leave it unattended. When sautéing, cook the garlic for just a few seconds to a minute. When the garlic is fragrant it’s time to remove it from the heat or add other ingredients to the pan.
