Warm potato appetizer with green peas, fried tomatoes, and dill is a cozy and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that embodies simplicity and rich flavors. Historically, such dishes were popular in rural cooking where fresh seasonal ingredients were combined without unnecessary complications.

The dressing of olive oil and wine vinegar adds a light spiciness that highlights the natural richness of the components.
