Frequently Asked Questions

What type of potatoes should I use?

Waxy varieties, like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, are best for this recipe due to their firm texture.

Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?

Yes, but keep in mind that dried herbs are more potent. Use half the amount stated for fresh herbs.

How do I know when the potatoes are done?

They’re done when you can easily pierce them with a fork.

Substitutions

For those with dietary restrictions or allergies, the good news is that this recipe can be modified to suit your needs. Substitute the butter with olive oil for a lactose-free or vegan version. If you’re looking to reduce the sodium for heart health, try using a sodium-free herb blend or freshly squeezed lemon juice to enhance the flavors without the extra salt.

Serving Suggestions

While boiled potatoes are commonly enjoyed as a side, they can certainly hold their own as the main dish. Pair them with a crisp, green salad and some grilled chicken for a wholesome meal. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread alongside some scrambled eggs and fresh fruit. If you’re planning a barbecue or a picnic, these potatoes are a crowd-pleasing companion to burgers or sandwiches.
