Delicate potatoes roasted with a generous amount of fresh dill — a simple, homemade main dish with a distinctly Polish character. The potatoes have a crispy skin and a soft interior, seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper, finished with a piece of butter and fresh dill, giving them an aroma reminiscent of the Polish countryside. Great with young lettuce, cottage cheese, or as a side dish to roasted duck or cutlets. The dish looks rustic — the golden color of the potatoes contrasts with the vibrant green of the dill, served on a large platter.

Preheat the oven to 220°C with fan (if you don't have a fan, set it to 230°C). Prepare a large baking tray lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil — preferably a tray measuring at least 30x40 cm, so the potatoes have space and do not steam.
Wash the potatoes under running water with a kitchen brush to remove the dirt. If the skin is thin (young potatoes), leave it on; if it is thick or damaged, peel it thinly with a knife. Cut the potatoes into slices about 1 cm thick or into quarters if they are small — uniform size will ensure even baking.
Transfer the chopped potatoes to a large bowl. Add canola oil, minced or pressed garlic (spread thinly), salt, and freshly ground pepper. With your hands or a large wooden spoon, thoroughly coat each piece in the oil and seasonings — even coverage will ensure a crispy skin.
Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer — do not stack them on top of each other. Leave some space between the pieces so that hot air can circulate and make them crispy. Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
Bake for 25–30 minutes at 220°C. After about 15 minutes, use a flat spatula or tongs to flip the pieces over, ensuring that all surfaces brown evenly. Monitor the color: a golden, slightly toasted edge is desired.
Remove the baking tray from the oven, check the softness of the center with a fork (insert the fork — it should go in easily, and the center should be creamy). Place pieces of butter on the hot potatoes, let them melt and lightly spread over each piece.
Sprinkle the potatoes with finely chopped fresh dill and, if using, chopped green onion. Gently mix on the baking sheet or transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle on top. Serve immediately, hot.
Arrange the potatoes on a large platter, garnish with dill leaves, and serve with sides: salad with vinaigrette, cottage cheese, or roasted meat. The potatoes taste best hot, right after being taken out of the oven.
Potatoes became common in Polish cuisine in the 18th-19th century; baked potatoes with dill are a traditional rural dish that used fresh herbs available in the summer and early autumn.
Serve the potatoes immediately, hot. For a flavor contrast, add a dollop of sour cream or crumbled cheese; for meats, I recommend horseradish sauce or slightly sweet onions with vinegar. Fresh lettuce with lemon vinaigrette pairs perfectly as a side.
Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat and regain crispiness, preheat the oven to 200°C and bake for 8–10 minutes or fry in a pan with a little oil for 5–7 minutes. Microwaving is not recommended — the potatoes will lose their crispiness.
