I love how purple viking potatoes look. They are so fun. There was no way I was willing to remove all of the skin to make mashed potatoes, so once again, here is a smashed potato recipe. The potatoes were another ingredient in my CSA share this week. The CSA share also came with dill so I incorporated that as well.
Ingredients:
1 bag of purple viking potatoes, washed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon chopped dill (plus more for garnish)
1 tablespoon chopped dill (plus more for garnish)
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring salted water to a boil in a large pasta pot. Add the potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain and transfer to a medium sized bowl.
Using a potato masher or a whisk, firmly press down on each potato, smashing them.
In a saute pan, add a small amount of the butter and the minced garlic over medium heat. Cook for 1 minute.
Remove from heat and add to the potatoes. Stir in the buttermilk, remaining butter and dill. Pour in the buttermilk a little bit at a time, so that you don’t over pour. You don’t want soupy potatoes! Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
I can never get enough potatoes; I love how versatile they are. The dill and buttermilk add a lot of great flavor to the potatoes and the purple-ish skin adds beautiful color to the dish!

The potatoes look so pretty! Love the dill with this. I think I would eat this with some smoked salmon.
Fun timing. I just discovered purple potatoes myself, but mine were purple all the way through. Apparently, purple vikings are a different thing. Your recipe sounds delicious. We leave the skins on our smashed potatoes as well. Yum!
cool recipe, you have been buzzed
Great combination. I love potatoes!
Love smashed potatoes with the skins still in there! And garlic and dill. Mmmm
I love dill and I love garlic. I will have to look out for these pretty potatoes. Could be impressive for dinner guests 😉
Delish! I like that you heated your garlic in the butter before adding to the potatoes – nice touch!
A simple meal and potatoes makes us go crazy at home, everything also add potatoes
What great potatoes !
