Nypotatis med dill (new potatoes with dill)

2 lb. freshly picked new potatoes, with soil still evident on skin.

1 sprig of dill stalks 

½ tsp salt

2tbs butter

2 tbsp finely chopped dill  

Kosher salt 

 freshly ground black pepper

Wash the potatoes and then scrub or scrape off the skins. Rinse the potatoes.

Place the larger potatoes over the base of a saucepan and pop the smaller ones on top. Pour in enough boiling water to not quite cover them, add some salt and the sprig of dill.

Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer gently for between 10 and 20 minutes. The cooking time depends on the variety and size. Test them with a skewer as they must be tender but still firm—overcooking really does spoil them.

Drain the potatoes and add the butter, chopped dill and a little pepper to the pan and then return the potatoes to the pan. Put the lid back on the pan and swirl the pan around to get each potato thoroughly coated.

Remove the lid, savour the delicious aroma and then sprinkle with a little rock salt before serving dishing them
