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
Directions
Step 1
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, removing any dirt. Leave the skins on for texture and flavor.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and whole milk while continuing to whisk. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked new potatoes to the creamy dill sauce, gently tossing to coat them evenly.
Step 7
Simmer everything together for 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 8
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve warm.
