Delicate young potatoes roasted to golden perfection and served with a cool sour cream and dill dip — a classic Polish breakfast that combines the simplicity and freshness of spring ingredients. This dish comes from the national cuisine, inspired by rural customs of serving potatoes with cottage cheese or sour cream and herbs. The potatoes have a crispy skin and a soft center; the dip provides a fresh, slightly tangy contrast, while optional bacon adds a salty, deep aroma. Serve with a cup of strong tea or black coffee; on the plate, it looks rustic — golden pieces of potato garnished with green dill and chives.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (top-bottom) or 180°C with fan. Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water with a vegetable brush to remove the dirt. Dry with a paper towel. Do not peel young potatoes — the skin will become crispy when baked.
Cut the potatoes in half or into quarters if they are larger — the pieces should be about 2–3 cm thick so they cook at the same time. If you are using small new potatoes, you can leave them whole.
Place the chopped potatoes in a large bowl. Pour in the rapeseed oil, add salt and pepper, and then mix vigorously by hand or with a large spoon so that each piece is lightly coated with fat. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet — do not stack them on top of each other, otherwise they will steam instead of becoming crispy.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes. After 15 minutes, open the oven and turn the pieces with a spatula to ensure even browning. The potatoes are ready when the outer skin is golden and crispy, and a fork can easily pierce the flesh.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dip: finely chop the dill (trim the stems and only cut the soft leaves and delicate stalks). Peel and crush the garlic. In a bowl, combine the 18% sour cream with the dill and crushed garlic, season with 1–2 g of salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and 1 g of pepper. Mix well — the dip should be smooth and slightly creamy.
When the potatoes are still hot, melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave or in a saucepan. Drizzle the melted butter over the baked potatoes — the butter will add shine and a delicate, buttery aroma.
If you are using bacon: cut the bacon into thin strips and fry in a dry, hot pan for 4–6 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels. You can add the bacon to the potatoes just before serving.
Transfer the baked potatoes to a plate, drizzle with a little melted butter, and place a portion of sour cream-dill dip next to them. Sprinkle with extra fresh dill and, if using, chives and crispy bacon. Serve immediately while the skin is still crispy and the inside warm.
In Poland, potatoes have been a staple of the cuisine since the 18th century; the tradition of eating potatoes with sour cream and herbs is particularly strong in the countryside, where fresh herbs were added to simple dishes to enhance the flavor.
Serve with a salad of young lettuce and radishes or with a fried egg for a heartier breakfast. You can add a bit of lemon juice to the dip for extra freshness. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and oil instead of butter.
Store baked potatoes in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. To reheat and restore crispiness, preheat the oven to 200°C and bake for 8–10 minutes or sauté in a pan with a small amount of oil. Store the dip separately for up to 48 hours.
