Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Excellent and very easy. The dill is a nice touch.

    I enjoyed this, it was pretty easy to cook too - just needed a higher heat for the last 5 minutes to caramelise the potatoes. I added peas and warmed weiners in the pan to make a one dish meal.

    I have to be a dissenting voice here. These were tasty enough, sure (potatoes, butter, and dill, so of course), but nothing special. We didn’t feel that they were more than the sum of their parts, or that the cooking method had much benefit over the even-easier roasting. Ok, but never repeated.

    A reminder to self not to forget about this amazing recipe! Served with spiced lamb steaks and sultans delight eggplant sauce.

    A celebration of dill. Reminds me of my late uncle in Australia who loved to serve "bread with grass" (buttery crostini covered with minced dill & parsley.) Reduced the butter slightly & it was still luscious.

    I agree these are amazing. A must have if you like dill. I really like the idea of oven roasting the potatoes for more even cooking.

  • Frogcake on March 19, 2017

    Excellent! These are truly meltingly delicious. So simple -you just have to be patient and let the potatoes pan roast. I've also roasted the potato onion butter combination in the oven, slow roasting for 45 minutes at 350 Fahrenheit with great success. I prefer the oven roasting technique for the more intense potato onion flavour. The results were just as buttery too.
