Step 2

In a Dutch oven or similar pot over medium-high heat melt the butter along with the olive oil. Add the potatoes and stir well to coat.**

Step 5

Add the garlic, herbs, salt and pepper, water and beer. Stir well to combine. Cover with lid and let cook for 10-12 minutes.

Step 8

Check the potatoes to determine how soft they have become (pierce with a fork) and how much longer you'd need to cook them to your desired degree of softness. If liquids are running low (could be with starchier varieties) add a bit more water & beer. If too much liquid still remains cook uncovered until done.

Step 11

Remove the beer potatoes from the heat, add a bit of butter to melt on top (optional), season with more salt and pepper if needed and garnish with the remaining fresh herbs.
