My love of dill started rather recently when I made dill-infused vodka. I found that, compared to the overpowering taste of dill I ate in Scandinavian recipes growing up, when the herb was infused with vodka it provided a light pickle-y flavor that was a great addition to a classic martini. I found that the same can be said when a small amount of dill is added to things like salads, yogurt dressings, and soups.
Dill isn’t something you generally use in large quantities, but even the smallest of bunches leaves you with quite a bit. If you’re like me and end up having too much of it in your fridge, here are more than 25 delicious dill recipes to use up the rest of your haul, whether you have just a tablespoon or two or nearly a whole bunch. And if you can’t quite decide where to start, go with the dill dip.

Ukrainian Dill Potatoes
The dish is just four humble ingredients — potatoes, dill, garlic, and sunflower oil — but their combination is magical. With each bite of creamy boiled potato, you get a grassy hit of fresh dill and a kick from raw garlic, all brought together by the nutty aroma of virgin sunflower oil (the hallmark ingredient of Ukrainian cooking).

This salad is perfect for fall and winter when root vegetables are in abundance. Since both beets and carrots can be rather tough raw, slice the beets and carrots as thinly as possible (using either a mandolin or your hands) to create a delicious crunch.
