Dill Red Potatoes with Lemon & Butter

These Dill Red Potatoes with Lemon and Butter are a truly versatile side dish. They go great with grilled chicken, and also roasted fish. The potatoes have a lots of fresh dill in them to intensify the flavor. Butter makes them extra creamy and delicious. While lemon zest and juice goes a LONG way in brightening these potatoes up and giving them life. I love serving these potatoes with a variety of main courses, and they are SO easy to make. It doesn’t take much more than boiling a small pot of potatoes to create this show stopping side dish. Give them a whirl.

I use two cooks tools that you really can’t go without in making these. A microplane for grating the zest and a potato masher to mash all those red potatoes with the skins still on. Most people have these on hand already and if you don’t, you should have them. A microplane is an incredibly versatile tool that you can use for zesting citrus, grating garlic or ginger or Parmesan cheese. A potato masher does just that, it mashes potatoes. It can also mash up beans for refried beans, smash tomatoes to make a saucy pan gravy, or help to cream up your soups without using an immersion blender.
