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

Instructions

  • For the herbed sour cream:

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

    • Blend until smooth and season to taste with salt.

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

 

  • For the crispy potatoes:

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

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

    • Drain the potatoes and let them dry completely.

    • 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.

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

    • 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.

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

Notes

  • The herbed sour cream sauce can be prepared up to 3 days in advance.

 

  • Ensure the potatoes dry completely after boiling to get the crispiest texture when roasted.
