GARLIC BUTTER NEW POTATOES

• Add potato to salted water in a large saucepan. Cook, covered, 10 minutes or until tender. Drain. (Do NOT overcook the potatoes- they will be mushy!).
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and salt (optional). Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until garlic is tender.
• Add parsley, pepper, and dill (optional). Pour over potatoes, tossing gently to coat.
• Enjoy!

BUTTER AND PARSLEY POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft. Drain well. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the potatoes in a serving bowl. Toss gently with the butter, parsley, salt, and pepper until well combined. Serve warm.
• Sorting Out Salts
• So many kinds of salt are in stores now that it's hard to figure out which one to use for what. Keep a box of kosher salt, which is coarse-grained and additive-free, on hand for sprinkling into large amounts of water-when you boil potatoes, pasta, or vegetables, for instance. Most cooks use kosher salt for pretty much everything, and sea salt for finishing. Sea salt tends to be rather gray looking (it literally is the product of the evaporation of seawater), with a very delicate flavor as well as some essential minerals. Fleur de sel is a type of sea salt that's harvested in some areas of France. The salt is marketed as fleur (or "flower") de sel because of the flower pattern it forms as it dries. It looks like flat crystals and has a very delicate flavor. Since it is also expensive, it's best to use it wisely, on salads, meats, fish, or vegetables where it will add texture and really be noticed.

NEW POTATOES IN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and save about 1/2 cup cooking water in the pot.
• Add 2 or 3 potatoes pieces back into the pot with the cooking water and mash them to thicken the sauce a bit. Add butter and stir until melted. Stir in green onions. Return hot potatoes to the pot and stir gently until coated in the sauce.
• Let sit until potatoes soak up the butter sauce, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot.

HERBED NEW POTATOES

• 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 herbs, and serve hot.
