Pressed Dill Potato Slices & Dill Dip

Dill Potato Slices

Preheat oven to 400°F.

  • 4 large russet potatoes (or 8 medium red potatoes)
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • A few stems of baby dill from one package (remaining dill is saved for dip recipe)
Slice potatoes into about 1/4 inch circle-shaped slices.
Place potato slices in a medium-large bowl. Add olive oil.
Coat potatoes on both sides in the olive oil mixture.
Place one small sprig of dill upon each potato slice and place dill-side down onto a baking sheet. Repeat until every potato slice is on a baking sheet. This usually takes two half-sheet pans.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until light golden brown and potato slices are soft inside.
Place on a plate and serve with the dill dip on the side.

Dill Dip

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Remaining dill from one package of fresh dill, chopped

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Whisk all ingredients together. This recipe can be prepared in advance and kept chilled until ready to serve.

You’d be hard-pressed to find potatoes as gorgeous as these. Yeah. I know. I’ll see myself out.
