  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 lb (450g) baby potatoes or new potatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp salt

½ cup (125g) sour cream

2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry baby potatoes. Toss with olive oil and salt.
  3. Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake 30–35 minutes, until skins are crisp and insides fork-tender.
  5. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
  6. Cut a small slit in each potato and gently press sides to open.
  7. Top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with chives.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

Top with shredded cheddar, or caramelized onions for a loaded version.

Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.

Use smoked paprika or flavored salts for extra seasoning.

Potatoes can be air-fried at 375°F for 20–22 minutes, shaking halfway.

Dairy-free toppings like cashew cream also work well.
