Ingredients
- 5 cups of diced red potatoes
- 7 cups of water
- 4 teaspoons of salt
- 1 ¼ cups of finely chopped green onions
- ⅓ cup of freshly chopped dill
- 2 cups of creamy buttermilk
- 1 cup of rich half-and-half
Step 1
Begin by placing the diced potatoes in a spacious saucepan and filling it with water. Let it come to a vigorous boil over high heat, then lower the heat and let it simmer until the potatoes are soft and cooked through, typically around 25 minutes. Time to add a burst of flavor with the green onions, fresh dill, and creamy buttermilk; allow the mixture to gently simmer once again. For a velvety finish, stir in the half-and-half just before serving. Remember to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs for an extra touch of freshness.
