Potatoes, all dressed up.

Sometimes, amid all the bells and whistles of new! exciting! food trends! and recipes, it it nice to return to the basics. Nothing is more homey or familiar than a potato. And despite being so plain, the less you generally do to them, the better. In this recipe for Warm Dilly Scallion Potatoes, little golden potatoes get dressed up in nothing but olive oil, salt pepper, and fresh herbs to make a wonderful side dish that works all year ’round.

Recipe Notes: Warm Dilly Scallion Potatoes

There is not much to these warm dilly scallion potatoes other than building a little flavor. My favorite potatoes for this dish are fingerling or small golden potatoes. Basically, you want to choose a small waxy or all-purpose yellow potato (not starchy) that does not need to be cut and will cook uniformly.

Make sure to season the potato water well. Like pasta, you want some salt to absorb well into the potato. Garlic cloves are also added to the water for a mild additional infusion of flavor.

I love the combination of potatoes, dill, and scallion. But if you cannot find one of those herbs, don’t worry. Just add a little more of the one you do have, or substitute. Tarragon could work well here. So could basil.

    My 12-year-old daughter made this for us herself and we all ate it up with burgers. Tasted great.

    I made a roast chicken and served this with it, and it was YUMMY. A simple potato recipe that I will make as a weekday side often.
