Compliments of our gut queen, the Fairy Gutmother ~

#CookForUkraine has become a beautiful movement. Create Ukrainian or Ukrainian-inspired dishes to better understand this country filled with such resilient people. Cook Ukrainian dishes for others to raise a little money to help these people in much-needed efforts. Every little bit helps. Learn what our H2A Ukrainian team is doing in their home country here.

Typically Ukrainian cuisine would serve potatoes warm with sour cream and LOTS of dill. This recipe came from a Ukrainian chef, recreated by the Fairy Gutmother for gut health. It’s a great take on a spring potato salad highlighting Ukrainian cuisine.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 - 2 lbs red potatoes

  • 2 tsp sea salt

  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup dill, chopped

  • 1/4 cup sunflower oil

Directions

  1. Chop red potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size, and place them in boiling water for about 12 minutes - you want soft but still firm.

  2. In the meantime, combine sea salt, garlic, dill, and sunflower oil in a mixing bowl, and stir until well combined.

  3. Remove boiled potatoes from heat and strain.

  4. Place potatoes in an ice bath or in the freezer for a few minutes to immediately cool (this helps boost the resistant starches which feeds the good bugs in the gut!).

  5. Add chilled potatoes to a mixing bowl and coat with dressing.

  6. Toss until well combined, serve, and enjoy!
