2 scallions, white bulb and 3 inches
green, quartered lengthwise and finely
chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
2 eggs, hard-cooked, coarsely chopped
When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut each
in half. Cut a tiny slice off the bottom of each potato
so it can stand upright. Using the small scoop of a
melon baller, carefully scoop out the center of each
potato half, leaving a firm potato shell. Place the
scooped out centers in a bowl. Reserve the shells.
2 tablespoons sweet gherkin pickles,
finely chopped
4 tablespoons fresh dill, finely
chopped
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black
pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
Gently toss the potato centers with the celery,
scallions, carrots, eggs, gherkins, 2 tablespoons of
the dill, parsley, salt and pepper.
1 cup sour cream
Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream together and fold
into the potato salad. Adjust the seasonings and with
a small spoon, carefully mound into the potato shells.
Refrigerate covered until ready to serve. Sprinkle with
the remaining 2 tablespoons dill before serving and
arrange on a decorative platter or in a flat basket.
