GARLIC BUTTER NEW POTATOES
I love this recipe. It is so simple, and yet, so delicious. I serve these potatoes with my Tarragon Cream Chicken. However, they are a delicious accompaniment to any meal. I took this recipe from Southern Living. It can be found in their Ultimate Quick and Easy cookbook. I generally do make a couple of changes- I add 1/4-1/2 tsp. salt to the garlic butter. I also often add minced fresh dill when I have it. Enjoy!

Tips:
- For the best flavor, choose small, new potatoes that are about 1-2 inches in diameter. These potatoes will cook evenly and have a tender texture.
- Scrub the potatoes well before cooking to remove any dirt or debris. You can use a vegetable brush to help you.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Just be sure to reduce the cooking time to about 10-12 minutes.
- To make sure the potatoes are cooked through, pierce them with a fork. They should be tender all the way through.
- For a more flavorful dish, use a good quality butter. Unsalted butter is best so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
- If you don't have fennel seeds, you can use a teaspoon of dried oregano or thyme instead.
- Serve the potatoes immediately after cooking, while they are still hot and tender.
Conclusion:
Buttered new potatoes with fennel is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are tender and flavorful, and the fennel adds a subtle anise flavor that complements the potatoes perfectly. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in under 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
