Creamed New Potatoes with Dill

 

Scrape and boil the new potatoes until soft...add approximately 3 tablespoons of vinegar to the potato water and pour about a 1/2 cup of evaporated milk in also-stir so that it does curdle.  Once the milk is in add a little flour to thicken the liquid and right before serving add a stalk of dill to the potatoes.  It is very important the you do NOT boil the dill along with the milk and vinegar as this will destroy the dill flavor...ENJOY!
