Why These Baked Potatoes Are Legendary
Some side dishes simply accompany the main course… and some steal the show. These sour cream & chives baked potatoes fall squarely into the latter category. Picture this: a Russet potato with crackling, salty skin, a soft, cloud-like interior, and a topping of cool, tangy sour cream sprinkled with fresh, sharp chives. Simple ingredients, extraordinary results—a side dish that feels both rustic and gourmet.
