Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes / new potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- ½ cup (125g) sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the potatoes evenly and thoroughly.
- Coat the potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss well to ensure each potato is evenly coated with oil, which will help them crisp while baking.
- Season and arrange: Spread the coated potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt to enhance the natural flavors of the potatoes.
- Bake the potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside. Halfway through baking, gently jiggle the baking sheet to turn the potatoes and allow them to brown evenly on all sides.
- Prepare and serve: Once baked, cut a small wedge out of each potato and fill it with a spoonful of sour cream. Top with chopped fresh chives for a burst of fresh flavor and a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Baby potatoes can be substituted with small Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes for a similar effect.
- To speed up cooking, pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking.
- For added flavor, sprinkle with black pepper or smoked paprika before baking.
- These make an excellent side dish for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a party appetizer.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
