English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 611 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
When the potatoes are cooked, melt one spoonful of butter in a saucepan and add the potatoes. Shake the sauté pan so that all the potatoes become coated in butter.
Pour over one glass of very fresh sour cream and bring to the boil once. While still hot, sprinkle with finely chopped dill or green onion tops.
Immediately transfer to a small deep serving dish and serve.
