Description

This recipe for mini jacket potatoes offers a deliciously simple way to enjoy new potatoes baked to golden perfection, topped with a creamy dollop of half-fat soured cream and fresh chives. Perfect as a comforting side dish or a light snack, these small potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, seasoned with olive oil and sea salt to enhance their natural flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 500g bag new potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste

Toppings

  • 75ml half-fat soured cream
  • Small bunch chives, snipped
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and potatoes: Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan)/Gas mark 5. Prick each potato several times using a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
  2. Season the potatoes: Rub the potatoes all over with olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly. Then toss them with sea salt so they have a lightly salted exterior.
  3. Bake the potatoes: Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet without overcrowding and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour until the skins are crisp and the insides are soft.
  4. Cool and prepare for serving: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for 10 to 15 minutes so they can be handled safely.
  5. Cut and fill: Cut a small cross on the top of each potato and gently pinch the bases to open up a cavity. Add a teaspoon of half-fat soured cream to each potato, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, and garnish with snipped chives.
  6. Serve immediately: Serve the mini jacket potatoes straight away while warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure the potatoes cook evenly and get crispy skins.
  • You can swap half-fat soured cream for Greek yogurt if preferred for a tangy twist.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the soured cream with a plant-based alternative.
  • This recipe works well with other small waxy potatoes if new potatoes are unavailable.
