4 potatoes (chopped)

3-4 stalks green onions (chopped)

1 small bunch dill

2-3 radishes (optional)

8 cups kvass or buttermilk/ kefir/ diluted yogurt

salt

Instructions:

Boil eggs and potatoes until done. Cool and peel. Finely chop all solid ingredients. Mix and salt to taste.

Add the liquid and serve.
