Creamy Dill Potato Stew
- 2.25 kg (5 lbs) Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 540 ml (2 1/4 cups) whole milk
- 115 g (1/2 cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter
- 22.5 ml (1 1/2 tbsp) all-purpose flour
- 25 g (1/2 cup) finely chopped fresh dill
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1. Peel the potatoes—except for new potatoes, which only need scrubbing clean
2. Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil
3. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork, about 15–20 minutes
4. Drain well and return to the pot over low heat for 1 minute to dry out excess moisture
5. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat
6. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux
7. Gradually pour in milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps
8. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, until slightly thickened
9. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chopped dill
10. Cut cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces directly in the pot
11. Gently fold the warm sauce into the potatoes until evenly coated
12. Serve immediately, alongside cold-smoked salmon with a wedge of lemon for squeezing
