Equipment

Instructions

    Gather potatoes, butter, dill, salt, water, a pot, knife, peeler, cutting board, colander, and spoon; measure all ingredients. · 2 min

    What to look for: All ingredients and tools are ready on the counter.

  2. Prep Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes, rinse them, cut into even 4 cm pieces, and finely chop the dill so everything is ready for the pot. · 8 min

    What to look for: Potato pieces look even, clean, and similar in size.

  3. Start Cold

    Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water by 2 cm, add salt, and bring to a steady boil over medium-high heat. · 7 min

    What to look for: Potatoes hold their shape but look tender at the edges.

  5. Drain And Dry

    What to look for: Potato surfaces look dry and slightly matte, with no water pooling.

  6. Butter And Dill

    Melt the butter in the warm pot around the potatoes, add chopped dill, and toss gently until glossy and flecked with green. · 1 min

    What to look for: Potatoes are lightly coated in melted butter and dill.

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.
