1. Begin by cleaning the potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. If the potatoes are larger than bite-size, cut them in half.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with enough cold water so that there is at least 1 inch of water above the potatoes.
3. Add a pinch of salt to the water. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
4. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes cook for about 15-20 minutes or until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
5. While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the fresh dill and chives and set them aside.
6. In a small mixing bowl, combine the low-fat sour cream, lemon juice, half of the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
7. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them steam for a couple of minutes to ensure all the water evaporates.
8. Transfer the steamed potatoes to a serving bowl. Add the sour cream mixture and gently toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated.
9. Garnish with the remaining dill and the chopped chives.
10. Serve warm as a delightful side dish.
