Note

Do not boil the sour cream after adding it, as it may curdle. Remove the skillet from heat briefly if the mixture becomes too hot before stirring in the cream.

For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream, though the texture will be slightly less rich.

This dish is best served immediately while warm. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of milk if the sauce has thickened too much.

If fresh dill is available, use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill instead of dried dillweed for a brighter flavor.
