Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.

Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly before peeling.

Mash the potatoes in a bowl until smooth.

Mix until a uniform dough forms.

Shape the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

In a separate pot, bring salted water to a boil.

Carefully drop the potato balls into the boiling water and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the balls with a slotted spoon and drain.

Roll the cooked balls in bread crumbs until coated.

Fry the breaded balls in the skillet until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve hot, garnished with dill and accompanied by sour cream.
