Description

These Sour Cream and Onion Crispy Potatoes are a delightful twist on classic roasted baby potatoes, featuring a tangy sour cream and onion topping that adds a burst of flavor to every bite. Perfect as a side dish or a tasty snack!


Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sour Cream and Onion Topping:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
  • Optional: extra sour cream or ranch for dipping


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread the potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Make Sour Cream and Onion Topping: While the potatoes bake, stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped chives, and green onions in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Combine and Serve: Once the potatoes are crispy, transfer them to a serving bowl and toss gently with the sour cream and onion mixture. Garnish with extra chives if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before roasting.
  • You can also air fry the potatoes at 400°F for 15–20 minutes for a quicker cooking method.
