For this recipe, I love using baby potatoes of similar size to ensure they bake evenly. You can even find beautiful purple or yellow baby potatoes at the grocery store, adding a vibrant pop of color to your holiday table.
To make the Mini Baked Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 375 °F / 190 °C.
Add 1 pound baby potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat well.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt. Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Toss them around halfway through baking so they cook evenly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let the potatoes cool.
Cut a small v-shaped wedge out of each potato. Fill each potato with a dollop of sour cream and top it with finely chopped fresh chives.
Serve and enjoy!
