Authentic Ukrainian Dill Potaotes

I have stayed true to the recipe (well 99% true). This dish was always prepared with boiled new potatoes, but perhaps you’ve noticed in my recipes I don’t boil vegetables. I mentioned this in my Roasted Fiddlehead Ferns recipe, and unless I am making mashed potatoes, I just don’t boil vegetables.

My version includes roasted potatoes. Full instructions are in the recipe card below.

Roasting potatoes to make Ukrainian recipe.

Wash and roast the potatoes in foil.

Finely chop the dill and green onion.

The aroma of the onion and dill is so fragrant, and the taste is mouthwatering. Alongside a steak, this would give any potato dish a run for their money. It goes well with all meats and fish and seafood too.

Suggestions / Recipe Tips

Potatoes – Any kind of potato will work in this recipe. If they are new potatoes, I don’t even peel them.

Sunflower Oil – You can replace it with avocado oil, olive oil or even butter.

Green Onion – I used both the white and green parts of the onion. Scallions are basically the same. You could also use chives.

Fresh Dill – This is a must, dried dill will not nearly be as flavourful.

Storage – These potatoes will keep for several days in the fridge in a sealed container.

Reheat – They reheat beautifully. I like to place in a foil-covered baking dish in a moderate oven until heated through. You can also use the microwave if you prefer.
