Preparation
Step 1
Any fat content sour cream will work. You can also add your favorite spices in addition to the listed ones.
Step 2
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut large ones into 4 pieces, medium into halves, and leave small ones whole. You can also slice into rounds if you prefer.
Step 3
Mix sour cream with clean drinking water until smooth.
Step 4
Rinse dill, shake off moisture, and finely chop. You may substitute or add other greens like parsley, green onion, or a mix of herbs.
Step 5
Place half the potatoes into the pots. Spread half the sour cream on top. Add salt, pepper, paprika, and half of the dill. (This recipe makes about 3 medium serving pots.)
Step 6
Add the remaining potatoes. Pour over the rest of the sour cream, then season again with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Step 7
Cover the pots with lids and place them into a warm (not hot) oven so the pots don’t crack from a sudden temperature change. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are done. Baking time depends on potato variety, cut size, and your oven.
Step 8
Remove the pots from the oven and let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes with the lids still on. This makes the potatoes softer.
Step 9
Sprinkle the baked potatoes in sour cream with the remaining fresh dill and serve hot. Enjoy!
