Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then dice them into ½-inch cubes. Place in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Add the frozen peas to the boiling water with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the peas are heated through. Drain the potatoes and peas together.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream into the saucepan with the onions and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Combine the drained potatoes and peas with the cream sauce, mixing gently to coat everything without breaking the potatoes.
  6. Season with 1-2 teaspoons of dried dill along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to incorporate and serve warm.
