- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes

- Meanwhile, put the butter in a deep skillet or flameproof casserole, preferably nonstick.

- Drain all but 3 tablespoons of the fat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, scallion, and dill.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened and the mixture fragrant, about 1 minute.
