How to Make Swedish Dill Potatoe Salad Recipe 🍴 Dillstuvad Potatis

Did you know that the first potatoes in Sweden was around 1655? Potatoes were documented at   Olof Rudbeck’s botanical garden in Uppsala, Sweden.

Recently, I went to a Midsummer celebration.  We danced around the Maypole (majstång  or  midsommarstång) and had traditional dishes such as 4 kinds of herring!! Which made me so happy to have 4 kinds of herring.  I just love herring!   🎈 🎉

It made me think to make the Swedish Dill Potatoe salad side dish.  It is perfect timing as I have so much dill, parsley and chives in my garden right now.  😀  This dish  goes with any summer dish such as grilled chicken, fish and even hotdogs.

Below is my recipe to mkae the Swedish Dill Potatoe Salad

🌼 Ingredients

• 1 pound freshly boiled potatoes, cut into inch wide pieces
• 1/2 tablespoon freshly ground white pepper
• 3 heaping tablespoons chopped dill, parsley and/or chives

Béchamel sauce:

• salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat
2. Add the flour & combine.
3. Add cream or milk and whisk together.
4. Bring to boil and let it boil for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Cut potatoes into inch wide pieces.
6. Add salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add the pre-cooked potatoes and heat through.
