Ukrainian Style Creamed Dill Potatoes
Ukrainian Style Creamed Dill Potatoes combine tender new potatoes cooked just to softness and then simmered in butter and whipping cream. Fresh chives and dill add a delicate herbal note that complements the creamy texture. This recipe highlights the potatoes' natural sweetness and provides a rich, comforting side dish that's enhanced by the fresh herbs. It's ideal when made with freshly harvested new potatoes for optimal flavor and texture.
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.
