Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the herbed sour cream:

    • 1 cup sour cream (or crème fraîche)

    • ½ cup diced chives

    • ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley

    • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

    • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

    • 1 tablespoon chopped shallots

    • Kosher salt, as needed

    For the crispy potatoes:

    1. 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes

    2. ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil

    3. ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

    4. 2 teaspoons onion powder

    5. 2 teaspoons garlic powder

    6. 1 teaspoon lemon zest

    7. ½ teaspoon kosher salt

    8. ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    9. 1 tablespoon diced chives (for garnish)


Instructions

For the herbed sour cream:

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the sour cream, chives, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, and shallots.

  2. Blend until smooth and season to taste with salt.

  3. Refrigerate until ready to use. This sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance.

For the crispy potatoes:

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230ºC).

  2. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan or pot, cover with water by 1 inch (2.5 cm), and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

  3. Drain the potatoes and let them dry completely.

  4. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a metal spatula or a glass with a flat bottom, gently press down on each potato to slightly flatten them.

  5. In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, Parmesan, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

  6. Pour the mixture over the potatoes and toss to combine. Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until crispy all over.

  7. Arrange the potatoes on a serving platter and drizzle with the herbed sour cream. Garnish with chives.


Notes

  • To make these potatoes even crispier, make sure they are fully dry before roasting.

  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for the herbed sauce.

 

  • You can store the herbed sour cream in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
