Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, choose small new potatoes that are uniform in size. If you don’t have dill seed, fresh dill can be a great substitute; use about 1 tablespoon. If you're looking to reduce calories, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Don't forget to season the water well—this enhances the potatoes' flavor as they cook.
