Ukrainian Style Creamed Dill Potatoes
Description
Ukrainian Style Creamed Dill Potatoes start with new potatoes boiled only until just tender to avoid them becoming mushy. After draining, they are returned to the pot where butter and whipping cream are added and gently simmered until the cream reduces, coating the potatoes in a rich, velvety sauce. The fresh chopped chives and dill added at the end lend a bright herbal flavor that balances the richness of the cream and butter.
The boiling and then simmering technique ensures the potatoes hold their shape while absorbing the creamy sauce, creating a smooth but tender texture. The use of fresh herbs, especially dill, is distinctive to the Ukrainian style and adds an aromatic complexity to the dish.
This creamed potato dish pairs well with roasted meats or grilled vegetables. Its creamy consistency and fresh herb flavors make it suitable as a comforting side during cooler months or alongside simple dinners.
Using new potatoes freshly taken from the garden, as suggested in the notes, ensures the best texture and flavor. Careful attention to cooking the potatoes just to softness before the cream simmer step preserves their structure and mouthfeel.
Ingredients
- 6-8 cups new potatoes washed, sliced and cleaned
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 1/3- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/2 cup chives chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons dill fresh
Instructions
- Put the potatoes in a pot, fill with water to cover and boil them until they are just soft. This part is important. You will have to cook these further in the cream, so make sure you cook them just to softness, no further.
- Drain the perfectly cooked potatoes and put them back into the pot.
- Add the butter and place the pot back on the burner.
- Add in the cream and cook the potatoes, simmering the cream until it reduces down.
- Toss in the chives and the dill, then serve!
Notes
- Use freshly harvested new potatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the potatoes just until tender before simmering in cream to prevent them from becoming mushy.
