Note
Fresh dill is essential for the best flavor. If fresh dill is unavailable, you can use dried dill, but reduce the amount by half as it is more potent.
For storage, keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will deepen as it sits.
You can substitute red potatoes with Yukon Gold or baby potatoes for a slightly different texture.
To store fresh dill for future use, wrap fronds tightly in aluminum foil and freeze; they can be used directly from the freezer in sauces and salads.
