Step 1
Peel and coarsely grate the russet potatoes into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze hard to wring out all liquid.
Step 2
Boil the waxy potatoes in salted water until very tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.
Step 3
Mix grated raw potato, mashed potato, and flour. Season with salt and pepper, stirring until just combined.
Step 4
Heat 1.5 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high until foaming. Drop spoonfuls of batter and flatten gently.
Step 5
Fry 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining batter.
Step 6
Stir dill into sour cream, season lightly with salt. Serve boxty hot with dollops of dill cream.
