This is definitely the way I've had it growing up, although the way I learned to cook the potatoes was whole, with the skin on to keep them from getting waterlogged. I peel them while they're still warm and then chop and add them. I've also grown a preference as an adult for replacing the dill relish with fresh dill, but I grew up eating it with relish in it. Thanks for posting.
