Finland Boiled Potatoes are a staple side dish. They are loved served with pickled herring. I am not a big fan of pickled herring so I used smoked herring and loved the combination. Served with butter and dill, they were perfect along side the herb and cheese stuffed salmon. The secret to success is to use new potatoes, that are fresh and small. Enjoy!
