November 11 is Narodowe Święto Niepodległości, the Polish 4th of July. To celebrate, we tested a recipe from The Spruce: a wonderful way to prepare potatoes. Polish Boiled Potatoes with Onion and Dill pairs nicely with ham, beautifully with fish. It’s homey, yet enough of a departure from everyday fare that you’ll really enjoy it. 5 out of 5 stars (5 / 5). How many servings you’ll get from this recipe really depends. If it’s one of several sides, twelve. If it’s the only side, six.

What you need to serve 6-12:

6 large red potatoes, peeled and cut into medium chunks
1 cup caramelized onions
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs chopped fresh dill

How to do it:

Boil the potatoes; toss with remaining ingredients.

Notes:

  1. You can make this work with many types of potatoes – in fact, fingerlings are a great choice.

Trying to make them might take away from the enjoyment of your Polish potatoes. You might try to stick to English, but with a Polish accent. Here’s a helpful video. Notice that it doesn’t matter what you say, you just do it with a heavy, expressionless, face that comes from years of hard, thankless work. Unfortunately, the accent in that video isn’t very authentic. Here’s a quintessential Polish accent. Real Poles, as you see here, never speak above a whisper.

  2. So I had no idea that it was already time to celebrate Narodowe Święto Niepodległości again! Actually, to be honest, I had no idea what Narodowe Święto Niepodległości was…so thank you for sharing. Also, I’m craving a huge batch of these potatoes like you wouldn’t believe right now. I love the addition of caramelized onions and dill. Perfect side dish for a cold night! 🙂
