These Mini Baked Potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish perfect for any meal. Baby potatoes are tossed in olive oil, seasoned with salt, and baked until tender and golden brown. Served with a dollop of creamy sour cream and fresh chives, they make a crowd-pleasing appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Potato Mixture

  • 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes / new potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Topping

  • ½ cup (125g) sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the potatoes.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss them gently to ensure each potato is evenly coated with the oil.
  3. Season the potatoes: Spread the oiled potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer, then sprinkle them evenly with salt to enhance their natural flavors.
  4. Bake the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, gently jiggle the potatoes around the pan to encourage even browning on all sides.
  5. Serve with toppings: When the potatoes are tender and golden, remove them from the oven. Cut a small wedge out of each potato and fill it with a spoonful of sour cream.
  6. Garnish: Top each sour cream-filled potato wedge with a sprinkle of freshly chopped chives for a burst of fresh flavor and color.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lower-fat option.
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill can be used instead of chives for a different twist.
  • Ensure the potatoes are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • The jiggling step midway through baking prevents uneven browning and sticking.
  • These mini baked potatoes can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
