⏱️ Cooking Time: 30 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the halved potatoes and cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. It's essential that the potatoes are cooked through but not falling apart, providing a soft texture with a slight bite. Drain and set them aside to cool slightly.
  2. 2.
    While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dill skyr by combining the skyr with finely chopped dill in a small bowl. Stir well until the dill is evenly distributed. This mixture will serve as a creamy, tangy contrast to the earthy potatoes. If the skyr is too thick, thin it slightly with a tablespoon of water for smoother consistency.
  3. 3.
    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the cooked potatoes to the pan. Sprinkle with sea salt and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown crust. The goal is to achieve a crispy exterior while keeping the inside soft, adding a pleasant textural contrast.
  4. 4.
    Once the potatoes are crisped to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Toss the potatoes gently in the pan with the dill-infused skyr, ensuring each piece is well-coated. This step should be done off the heat to prevent the skyr from curdling, preserving its creamy nature.
  5. 5.
    Serve immediately, savoring the dish's balance of creamy tanginess with crispy potatoes. If you find the flavors need more depth, a quick squeeze of lemon or a pinch more salt can enhance the dish's profile. Enjoy as a refreshing side or a light main course.
