Garlic Butter New Potatoes

Submitted by History Teacher

"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!"

4. Add parsley, pepper, and dill (optional). Pour over potatoes, tossing gently to coat.

Quick and easy solution that paired well with my wife's salmon-loaf and peas.

Easy and delicious! I melted the butter and the garlic in the afternoon, reheated the sauce just before serving. Did not add the dill but did use some salt. Served this with your Tarragon Chicken and got compliments on both of your dishes!
