"My very picky traditionalist husband not only loved this recipe, but now insists I make it all the time instead of the old-fashioned recipe. I think it came from Southern Living magazine."

This was pretty good .. I used 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped dill .. I will add a bit more butter next time, thanks for the recipe!

"Very Good Potatoes"!!! I made a few adjustments though. I used 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper and 1/4 tsp. dried dill. I also heated up the butter & cream (not milk) before adding to the mashed potatoes. Using real cream, (not milk) always make mashed potatoes taste better, and creamier.

Sorry but this is a tad contrary to my liking. First of all why would you need to boil, mix milk and butter, mash then season? Waste of effort. The only way our family really loves mashed is 1-bring potatoes to boil, add salt to the water, drain, mash with either half&half or table cream [eliminates needing to add butter to milk], then 2-you can go ahead and add sour cream and dill.

With the number of revisions people are making to such a basic recipe, I am shocked that they are leaving so many stars. This recipe is good is you've never cooked before, I guess. You're supposed to use white pepper in mashed potatoes so there aren't black specks in your potatoes. And why not use fresh dill? If you're going to use dried dill you may as well use dried potatoes.

Delicious! Used fresh dill instead of dry, about 2 t. These potatoes had a nice tang from the sour cream and the dill wasn't too overpowering. We really enjoyed them. Thanks for posting!
