Nothing tastes better than Swedish Dill Potatoes: scrub small new potatoes clean and drop into boiling salted water together with sprigs of fresh dill. Cook, covered, over moderate heat until tender or about 15 minutes. Test with a toothpick. Drain off the water and let the steam disappear. Serve at once.

To cook the larger winter potatoes, select potatoes of the same size and scrub them clean. If desired, peel the potatoes before putting them in a kettle. Add water to cover and 3 tablespoons salt for each kg potatoes. Bring to a boil, cover and turn down the heat. Let simmer until tender or about 20 minutes. Drain well and let the steam disappear. Serve at once.
