Ingredients

16 ounces red new potatoes
3 to 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher 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.

Herbed Sour Cream:

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Combine ingredients in a small bowl. Season, to taste, and refrigerate until use.

Excellent Side
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is one the entire family enjoys. It's easy to make, and they look nice. The full side (herbed sour cream and all) goes... especially well with steak. Read more

Good But I Wasn't Wowed
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

These are pretty easy to make but I wasn't wowed. My husband was impressed with the appearance and loved the garlic. But at... the end of the day, it's a baked potato. Also the recipe said to bake at 400 but on the show, she put the chicken in with the potatoes --- to cook at the same time. Well the chicken recipe called for 425. So I kinda winged it and let 'em cook for just under an hour. Basically this is a neat twist on a baked potato. Read more

Worth The effort
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I only changed one thing- to give the Herbed sour cream a bit more bang I substituted Herbes De Provence in lieu of the... parsley,garlic powder,etc. Served them with a garlic crusted pork rib roast,roasted asparagus and a mixed green salad with a Bleu Cheese/basalmic/olive oil dressing -wonderful meal.Read more

my favorite potato recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Different, impressive and tastes great. I have made these many times and always had a great response from family and... friends. I now use purple fingerling potatoes since I have read they have antioxidants, not to mention they look cool. And so easy! I am making these and the delicious meat loaf in tri color peppers tonight...another family favorite. Thanks Sunny!Read more
