Ingredients
16 ounces red new potatoes
3 to 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Herbed Sour Cream, recipe follows

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Using a wooden spoon as a cradle, place each potato in the spoon and make several parallel slits
into each potato top making sure not to slice completely through. Place 3 garlic slices between
slits at the crown of each potato. Toss in a medium bowl with butter and olive oil. Place on a
baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake until tops are crispy and potatoes
are cooked through, about 1 hour. Transfer to a platter and top with Herbed Sour Cream.
