Sometimes the best meals are the simplest. This new red potatoes recipe has just 6 ingredients and you likely already have everything in your kitchen. It’s a quick side dish that will win your family over.
Did I mention I live in Idaho? And did you know potatoes come from Idaho? (well, maybe not all of them, but we sure are famous for potatoes!) It’s only fitting that we are wild about potatoes. After making this dish twice in one week, we knew we had to share it with you! Enjoy!
Ingredients for Red Potatoes with Dill:
2 lb baby red potatoes, cut into 1″ pieces, quartered or cut into 1/8’ths if larger.
1 tsp salt for water
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
Garlic salt to taste
2-3 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1/3 – 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
How to Make Buttered Red Potatoes with Dill:
1. Fill a medium pot with cut potatoes and add warm water until there is 1/2″ of water above the top of the potatoes. Stir in 1 tsp salt. Partially cover and bring to a boil and cook red potatoes at a light boil for about 10-12 min in salted water or until you can smoothly pierce potatoes with a fork. Remove from heat and drain well.
2. In a large pan over medium heat, melt 4 Tbsp butter. Transfer potatoes to the buttery skillet then sprinkle with garlic salt to taste. Toss potatoes to coat them in butter and sprinkle again with garlic salt.
Let potatoes sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes then turn them and let sit another 2-3 minutes. If they are browning too quickly, reduce the heat.
3. Once potatoes are starting to turn golden on the second side,turn them and sprinkle generously with fresh dill and top with shredded parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and let the potatoes sit in the hot skillet to let the cheese melt a bit then serve.
So simple and delicious!

I wanted something new to go with my pot roast. The pot roast was delicious but these potatoes blew it away. I did use about 50% more butter…
Thanks!
Sounds great! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe. 🙂
This dish is amazing. Every time I say I’m making potatos I get asked “the dill ones?” LOL. Definitely a fan favorite in our house.
As a side note, fresh dill obviously tastes better but in a pinch dried dill still works and makes for a tasty meal.
Hi Nikki! I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that great review and tip with us!
Do you have an alternate for fresh dill? We don’t have access to fresh herbs this time of the year. Can dry dill be used and if so how much.
Hi Mike, since the dill isn’t really cooked much after it is added, it would not work well to use dried dill. You could also use finely chopped fresh green onion or chives, whichever you have available.
I hardly ever have fresh dill on hand and use dried dill and it still tastes amazing. Fresh tastes better but in a pinch dry works well with it.
Delicious! Thanks for the recipe. We loved them.
You’re welcome Kathie! I’m happy to hear that. Thanks so much for sharing!

These were fantastic! Husband went back for seconds. Your website is my new favorite. The recipes are delicious, use normal everyday ingredients and give consistently great results. Thank you.
You’re welcome Kathy! I’m glad to hear how much you are enjoying the recipes! Thanks for following and sharing your great review!:)
These are yummy, very quick and easy anyone can make it, even my hubby;)
Anna, thank you for the nice review, I’m glad you liked it 😁.
Thank you for this amazing recipe for potatoes. Everytime I tell my husband the dinner menu and I mention potatoes, he response is always; You’re going to make those amazing red potatoes with dill right? Just made this for a small dinner party we had this past weekend. WOW, what a hit this was! Thank you, thank you! 🙂
Awww that’s so great! Thank you for sharing that with me 🙂
Awesome recipe! I’m a vegetarian and I’m always looking for a new recipe. This was so easy to make and tasted delicious! My husband loved them. I served them with my homemade veggie burgers and green beans. I put a picture on FB and # for you! I’ll be checking out your other recipes. Thanks!
Shirley, I’m so glad you liked the recipe and thank you so much for sharing it on Facebook :).
Just made this for dinner tonight and it was amazing. I even kept snacking on them like popcorn while cleaning up! Haha. I keep a tube of dill that’s in paste form and was able to use that without a problem. It was so good and I plan to make this again!
It’s great to know that the dill paste will work with this recipe! Popcorn. lol. I love it! 🙂
So first of all, I just wanted to say I absolutely love your blog! Each of your dishes are easy to follow, fairly easy to make, and most of all are always delicious! I have never been disappointed 🙂 secondly, this specific recipe was definitely a hit! My dad LOVED it, and that’s saying a lot because it difficult to get any reaction out of him and because he generally is not a huge fan of potatoes. So thank you Natasha for making my life this much easier!! God bless you and your lovely family 🙂
I’m so happy to hear that he loved it and this blog has made your life a little easier. That’s so great!
I made these for tonight’s dinner and they were wonderful!! I followed the recipe exactly as is and I can’t believe how quickly it came together and tasted delicious. Thanks Natasha. We had them with chicken wings mmmm 😉
Mmmmm chicken wings… 🙂 I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂
They are very delicious! I added some bacon to it, my husband loved it! Thank you for great recipes!
Butter and bacon make everything better. That’s brilliant! :). I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe!
These look amazing, Natasha! Fresh dill is a perfect addition to a potato dish. Pinned! 🙂
Julie thank you and thanks so much for pinning! You. Are. Awesome! 🙂
Ok to use garlic powder instead of garlic salt?
Absolutely, just use garlic powder and add salt to taste. Garlic salt is just garlic powder with salt basically with a tiny bit of dry parsley (you don’t have to add the fry parsley).
Well that does sound easy! And potatoes smothered in Psan cheese? Yeah, that’s what Heaven looks like to me. mmmmmm
Oh yeah! I’m with you on that! In our house, we sprinkle parmesan on nearly everything. My son always requests it. 🙂
Sounds delicious!!! Will be making it for dinner :)YUMM
Thanks Angie! I hype you love it as much as we do 🙂 what else are you pairing these potatoes with?
