Potatoes Two Ways: Dill Fingerling Potatoes & Parsley-Dill Potatoes

Dill Fingerling Potatoes (Ina Garten Recipe):

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 1/4 pounds fingerling potatoes, rinsed but not peeled

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

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 dill, and serve hot.

Parsley-Dill Potatoes: Rachael Ray Recipe:

2 1/2 pounds medium to large red potatoes

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves

1/4 cup chopped dill

Salt and pepper

Using a peeler or a paring knife, peel a 1/2-inch strip around the circumference of each potato. Fill a large saucepan with cold water. Add the potatoes and place them over high heat. Boil potatoes until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and place the potatoes back into the pan on the burner for 30 seconds to dry them out. Add the butter and toss in the herbs. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.
