Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Scrub the purple potatoes well; there is no need to peel them. If using large potatoes, cut them in half so they are roughly the same size as small whole ones.
-
Step 2.
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the potatoes, cover, and cook until tender, 18 to 20 minutes. Test with a fork; the potatoes should be easily pierced.
-
Step 3.
Drain the potatoes and plunge them into a large bowl filled with cold water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for a minute, then drain again.
-
Step 4.
Return the saucepan to medium heat and add ½ cup (1 stick) butter. Melt the butter, swirling occasionally, until it is fully melted and begins to foam slightly.
-
Step 5.
Add the drained potatoes, ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and ½ teaspoon minced fresh dill. Stir gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the butter and herbs, and cook until heated through, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 6.
Serve immediately as a side dish.
