Baby Potatoes with Dill Cream

4 cups baby potatoes (if some are bigger than others, slice them in half to keep them all the same size. Otherwise, leave whole)

1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp butter
1 cup half and half cream
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt and pepper


Put on a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the potatoes and cook about 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain.

While the potatoes are cooking, in a medium saucepan over medium heat melt the butter. Once melted add the flour and stir and let cook for a couple minutes. This is called a roux, and is your thickening agent. You just want it to cook to get rid of the floury taste. Then slowly whisk in your cream adding a little at a time until the roux and cream are worked together and there are no clumps. Let this come up to a simmer and turn down the heat to low. Let cook until the sauce is thick and creamy (add more cream or milk to thin out if you like). Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh chopped dill. You'll need to season liberally with kosher salt and pepper. Season and taste and keep seasoning until it doesn't taste bland.

Serve the boiled baby potoates with the dill cream on the side. Dish on the plate and pour the cream over the potatoes and enjoy.
