These quick & easy braised potatoes have the perfect fresh tang of dill and lemon. This method is so flexible and works great at home on the stove-top or over the fire. Make sure to have some salted lemons on hand to take the flavours in this side dish to the next level.
4-6 whole potatoes
1 cup chicken broth
2-3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
pepper, freshly ground
fresh squeezed lemon juice & sprinkle of salt *or salted lemon juice
Wash potatoes and cut into quarters. Place skin side down in a cast iron frying pan. Cover the bottom of the pan with a single layer of potatoes.
Add in chicken broth & butter.
Cover and bring to boil on a stovetop. Turn down and simmer, with the lid on for 12 minutes.
Uncover and boil until all the broth liquid evaporates & the potatoes begin to sizzle on the bottom of the pan.
Add fresh chopped dill, fresh pepper and a drizzle of salted lemons juice to the potatoes. Cover and let rest for 5 min before serving.
Serve with fresh sour cream on the side.
If you don't have dill, try this out with any other fresh herb that you like with potatoes.
If you have access to baby potatoes, leave them whole. After boiling, use the bottom of a glass to press them down and smash them a bit. Then finish the cooking.
Make a big batch of these and keep the leftovers to make breakfast hash with the next day: fry up your favourite breakfast meat with eggs, potatoes and melt some cheese on top!
