Gluten Free Herb Butter New Potatoes
New potatoes tossed in melted butter and finished with a generous handful of fresh herbs — this is the kind of simple, satisfying side dish that earns a permanent spot in your rotation. The potatoes are simmered until perfectly tender, then steam-dried so every surface soaks up that glossy, herb-flecked butter without turning watery or heavy. Parsley and chives bring a bright, grassy freshness, and the optional mint adds a subtle lift that makes the whole dish feel a little more special. Because the ingredient list is naturally free of wheat, barley, and rye — no swaps or substitutions needed — this is one of those recipes where eating to a dietary need genuinely costs you nothing in flavor or texture. Flaky sea salt scattered over the top right before serving is a small detail that makes a noticeable difference, so don't skip it. Whether it's alongside a roast, grilled fish, or just a simple weeknight protein, these potatoes pull their weight every single time.
