Buttery Potato Fans
Potato fans taste like a baked potato, but they look special enough for guests and are a nice change from baked potatoes.
Prep Time:
Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 medium baking potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
Directions
Preheat oven to 475°F. Grease a baking sheet lightly.
Cut unpeeled potatoes into 1/4-inch slices but do not cut all the way through.
Arrange potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Combine butter and vegetable oil in a small bowl and mix well. Brush over potato skins and between slices. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Microwave for 8 minutes.
Arrange potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Brush with remaining butter mixture.
Bake until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Top each potato with a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chives.
Secret Tip
For extra flavor, stir the chives into the sour cream and let stand while the potatoes microwave and bake. To make green onion dip that's good on potatoes and potato chips, double the amount of sour cream and chives and add 1 tablespoon sliced green onions. Chill several hours.
