    New Potato & Dill Salad

    Like any human being my personality and behaviour are marked with idiosyncrasies. One of them is when I was a child I used to love growing herbs.

    New Potato & Dill Salad

    Lots of them; from lemon balm to sage. You see, herbs aren’t just any plants. They don’t just stand there looking pretty with a flower or two, but actually have a purpose – good for cooking and your health – and that gave me a great kick.

    Did I cook? No. Did I eat them? No. Did I water them? Not really, so if our gardener didn’t do it they died, which they all eventually did.

    It took me a while to learn responsibility to take care of plants. Now my problem is moderation. When I plant seeds, I won’t just plant five of one type, but twenty.

    All twenty come up and what do I do then? You can only eat thyme for so many days in a row before you start wishing you didn’t plant any in the first place.

    I end up feeling really guilty for wasting so much. *sigh* Moderation. It’s not just food I have a problem with but life in general.

    If I go to the library I simply cannot take one or two books home, but twenty. I am not capable of doing just one project at a time, but five and so the story goes on and on…

    Anyway, I still had a point. As I got older my palate started to change and I got more accustomed to the taste of herbs.

    Fabulously fresh ones at that. Last year I discovered how much better fresh herbs taste than the dried bottled ones.

    At first I thought what a weird flavour dill had, but now when I can get my hands on it, it will go almost in every dish, *ahem* like this one.

      Thats a lovely photo. I'm not much of a dill fan, but, like you, I'm open to becoming addicted to new herbs. Thanks for sharing!

      This also reminds me of when my own mother would make potatoes with dill - omg - I always looked forward to them.

      I had to laugh at your description of planting mega herbs - I did the same with mint and I could supply mint to a small country now.

      Oh, I LOVE dill! We went to a Greek restaurant in Brussels last summer and had a creamy lamb dish that was redolent with dill - too fantastic! I'm afraid our gardening habits sound alarmingly similar though... :o)

      I also have a problem with that moderation thing, and not just in gardening either! Potato salad with dill sounds wonderful. Great photo too, and welcome to WHB!

      This sounds like an easy potato salad recipe. I've just planted dill in my garden and I can't wait to use them in my cooking. Am marking this on my favorites...

      Fresh dill is great in potato salad. My father started our family on it- and one of the twists we like to add in season is tomato. Combined with the egg, dill and mayo it kicks the flavor up several notches but you need good vine ripened tomatoes to really get the maximum benefit.
