Ingredient substitutions
Potato
- Floury potato: Use a floury type for a softer, more absorbent texture with butter.
Butter
- Sunflower oil: Less classic than butter, but acceptable when dairy must be avoided.
Fresh dill
- Frozen dill: Use only dill for the classic Polish flavor; frozen dill should be added at the end.
