Preparation

  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the seasoned potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are fork-tender and the skins are crispy.
Serving

  2. Once the potatoes are done, let them cool for a few minutes, then top with the sour cream and chive mixture. If desired, sprinkle grated cheese on top.

Notes

Choosing small, even-sized potatoes ensures consistent cooking. Monitor the potatoes in the last few minutes to avoid overcooking. For a healthier version, try Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Leftover potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
