Fluffy, buttery and crispy – crushed potatoes with dill and garlic. Your dinner will no longer be average if you add this side dish on your table!
I am Polish and I love potatoes more than anything. Mashed, roasted, boiled, grilled, fried – it really does not matter. Potatoes are so versatile and I am not sure if I know anybody from my family or friends who does not like potatoes. Today’s recipe for a side dish is easy and amazingly tasty and nobody will be able to resist it- crushed potatoes with dill and garlic. If you have not tried matching potatoes with dill, you are missing out!
How to make crushed potatoes with dill and garlic
The story starts with parboiling potatoes until just soft. This step is necessary in order to make potatoes fluffy and cut the roasting time. I did not peel my potatoes as I love crispy potato skins. Then I poured over melted butter and sprinkled fresh dill. Adding that much butter is necessary for potatoes to cook nicely and get the crispiness. I would even encourage you to add more butter if you wish. 100g is the minimum for 700g potatoes. I also advise to use fresh dill than dried one. The difference in flavour is immense. Adding garlic at the end of a roasting time is important. If you add garlic at the beginning it will burn and become bitter. The whole dish will not taste good.
How to serve crushed potatoes
When it comes to serving this dish, the options are unlimited. You can add this tasty side dish to your dinner and serve it with any meat like lemon and garlic baked chicken drumsticks or fish like tandoori masala swordfish steak. Personally, I love serving this dish with my baked cod in garlic and tomato.
