Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/2 pounds potatoes (750 grams)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour, heaping
  • 1/3 cup cream
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 bunch fresh dill
  • salt and pepper, for seasoning

Instructions

  • To make these dill potatoes, start with using a medium or a large pan to boil your preferred potatoes. Cook until they're soft.
  • Drain the water from the potatoes and place them back on the heat for 2 to 3 minutes to remove additional moisture --- set aside to cool.
  • To prepare the creamy dill sauce, place a small or medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Add and melt butter.  
  • Add flour and mix until it turns into a soft paste.
  • Add cream and whisk to avoid getting clumps.
  • Slowly add milk and continue whisking; then lower the heat and simmer for around 4 to 5 minutes. 
  • Season with salt and pepper --- and nutmeg, if desired. 
  • The creamy sauce would be slightly thicker now.  Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon, scraping the sides of the pan and making sure that there are no lumps in the cream.
  • Pour sauce into cooked potatoes and mix.
  • Add chopped dill, then mix again to combine evenly.
  • Serve your creamy dill potatoes, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cook’s Tip:  Ensure that the potatoes are not TOO soft when you boil them. Remember that you still have to put them back in the heat to remove more moisture.
