Creamy Dill Potatoes Recipe

It is hard to believe that three ingredients can result in such a flavor explosion on some red potatoes, but that is exactly what these creamy dill potatoes are all about. Using onion and chive cream cheese with a bit of milk and some dill, this is a delicious and simple side dish for a quick weeknight dinner or to bring to your next BBQ!

This recipe for creamy dill potatoes is easy to toss together and super delicious! It’s creamy yet light and made with just 4 ingredients. It’s not as heavy as my loaded baked potato salad, and it’s a bit outside of the classic easy potato salad box.

They’re less of a salad and more of a potato side dish, but sometimes I like to use them as a warm potato salad. We also have it often as a substitute for dishes that pair well with mashed potatoes.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• It’s so easy to whip up, which makes it great for a last-minute side dish, a pot luck, or a quick snack.
• You can customize it to your liking. Use different potatoes or a different flavor of cream cheese. You can also use plain cream cheese and add your own seasonings.
• It tastes great and is a dish that will have everyone asking for the recipe!

Ingredients Needed

• Potatoes: I use small red potatoes, cut into quarters. I keep mine with the skin on, but you can peel them if you’d like.
• Chive and onion cream cheese spread: This is flavored spreadable cream cheese that comes in a tub, not a block of cream cheese.
• Milk: Helps to thin out the spread to make it easier to coat all the potatoes.
• Dill weed: Use either fresh or dried dill; it’s up to you.

How to Make Creamy Dill Potatoes

• Step 1: Boil the potatoes in salted water over high heat until fork-tender. Drain them, place them back in the pot, and set them aside.
• Step 2: Microwave the cream cheese and milk for about 1 minute and stir until smooth.
• Step 3: Pour the creamy dressing over the potatoes and sprinkle with dill. Stir gently and serve immediately.

Recipe Success Tips

• Add salt to the water when you boil the potatoes for extra flavor.
• You can use baby potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, or even russet potatoes if preferred. Each type of potato will have a different texture, but they all work.
• If you are using plain cream cheese, season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, fresh or dried herbs, onion powder, chives, etc. Season to taste.
