We love to have these Garlic dill potatoes on the side of this Classic Roast Chicken Recipe. It is a simple, easy to make potatoe side dish recipe that is a staple at every dinner.
Should you peel the potatoes before boiling? This is entirely a preference step and depends on the potatoes being used. A thin fleshed potato will do fine with the skin left on, whereas a rustic style, thick skinned potato will benefit from being peeled before boiling.
What can you do when you have too much fresh dill? Make this recipe for a large crowd. Use any available potatoe options and increase the ingredients volume as needed. The dill garlic sauce is where all the flavours dance.
Is there a gluten free sunflower oil? Yes, there is! A great gluten free sunflower oil for cooking is Maison Orphee Organic Sunflower Oil. Every week, Maison Orphee presses Canadian-grown sunflower seeds using a small screw press. Fresh and mild, this oil works well as a finishing touch or in baking.
Originally posted Ukrainian Dill Potatoes recipe used 1/4 cup of sunflower oil instead of butter. Adjustments were made to use butter for ingredients availability.

Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe. My family loved it. Will be sharing this recipe with my friends. They will like it!
I used Idaho baking potatoes, cut in small pieces and put directly into crock pot. Tossed potatoes with remaining ingredients and added a little olive oil for moisture. Cooked until tender and the potatoes didn’t fall apart. Will definitely make again.
Bursting with dill flavor!
Delicious!
