Hello! I tried the cucumber dill sauce here and it turned out great!! I dipped carrots and crackers however I think I’ll try the potatoes as well, I didn’t because I was scared by the frying as so many people are rawtil4 and oil is bad! However I like to be happy when I eat so I’d still like to try the full recipe!! Thanks for the inspiration to try a new sauce 🙂 Tammy.

Hi Tammy! Thank you so much for trying my recipe, so glad you did. I have many other sauces/dips too. I’m starting to think they should have their own section, lol.
With regards to the potatoes, I offer both options in this recipe – fried and baked. It is pictured being fried in olive oil, however, you can baked these up also.
Below is an excerpt from the recipe.
