Creamy Dill Potatoes

If you are looking for a super easy to make and full of flavor #sidedish, then you came to the right place. This recipe for Creamy Dill Potatoes takes just a few ingredients (mostly standard seasonings you already have in your cupboard) and basically boiling potatoes. The easy dressing has such a depth of flavor, you – and your whole family – are going to love it!

So why red potatoes? Red potatoes have a more waxy quality, which means they hold their shape much better when boiled and then cut. They are also actually slightly lower in calories and fat content than russets. But also they have exceptional flavor. I also like the pop of color they give to this dish.

Dill and chive is such a great flavor combo. It is actually a big part of what makes ranch dressing so popular. This dressing is more Dill forward (where ranch is more chive forward), so it’s not quite a ranch, but it’s a familiar flavor that will make everyone happy. You can use this dressing for salads and sandwiches and wraps too – pretty much anywhere you would use ranch. It’s pretty simple to put together, as they ingredients are all common kitchen staples (at least in my home).

These potatoes are a great alternative to fries or potato salad, which can both get sort of repetitive for sides to chicken or burgers. It is also good still warm or totally cooled, making it a great last minute side or a great make ahead potluck dish. If you are going to be making it ahead of time, make sure to let it totally cool before covering and storing in the refrigerator. The condensation that happens if the potatoes are still warm, is not super pleasant when it drips in the dressing.
