Roasted Dill Potatoes

The dill in my Aero Garden is growing like crazy. I have more dill than I know what to do with. I am searching for new ways to use it. Tonight I decided on Roasted Dill Potatoes.



I adapted my normal roasted potatoes recipe by adding some chopped dill and some garlic. Not over powering, the dill just added a nice flavor to the potatoes.

Roasted Dill Potatoes
4 - 5 New Potatoes, quartered
Olive Oil
1 tsp garlic
2 - 4 tbsp fresh chopped dill
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper

Combine all in a roasting pan or on a cookie sheet. Roast in a 400 degree oven, 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and browned.

Baby Carrots with Dill Butter

This past weekend, Nebraska was treated to a Spring blizzard. The ground was so warm here that we didn't really have much accumulation but just to the north of us, they received 11 inches. I am ready for warmer weather so I can plant my herbs. For my birthday this year, my husband gave me an AeroGarden. It's a nice treat to be able to pick herbs even when there is snow on the ground. I've never done a lot of cooking with dill, so I was anxious to try Baby Carrots with Dill Butter. In addition to being pleasing to the eyes, the flavors were yummy!
