Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, removing any dirt. Leave the skins on for texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and add 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the potatoes. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whole milk while continuing to whisk. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Stir in the chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked new potatoes to the creamy dill sauce, gently tossing to coat them evenly.
Simmer everything together for 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve warm.
