14. Potatoes should be cooked by now, drain and mash. Add sour cream and mustard. Mix and mash.

15. Chop fresh dill and add to potatoes. Serve. 

*To prevent dry meat, do not cook meat on any side more than once.

*In other words, do not flip continuously. 

*Be patient, allow the one side to cook, then flip and cook the other side. The meat will be perfect.
