9 medium baking potatoes, about 3 lb., washed, peeled and quartered
3 large eggs
3/4 c. butter, softened, divided
2 T. snipped fresh dill or 2 t. dill weed
1/2 t. salt. or to taste
1/4 t. black pepper
3 - 6 T. milk
Place potatoes in a Dutch oven or large pot; cover with well salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat; cover; simmer 20-25 minutes or until tender; drain.
While potatoes are cooking, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2 baking sheets.
In a large bowl, mash potatoes while still hot; beat in eggs, 6 T. butter, dill, salt, pepper and just enough milk to make a light, fluffy consistency.
Using a pastry bag with a large star tip or a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag, pipe potatoes into 12 mounds onto prepared baking sheets.
Melt remaining butter; drizzle over potatoes.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
12 servings.
