There are some things in life that are always good; finding unexpected money in one of your drawers, receiving a call from someone you miss, having warm feet….it’s a long list. And on that list (at least mine), potatoes will always have a place. I think I can say, with certainty, that I’ve never declined a good potato dish. In any of it’s variants. They’re just so good and go with everything…and there are so many ways you can cook them. They make any ingredient shine. But there’s a few ingredients that will always be glory to me when baked alongside this lovely tubers: cream, butter, rosemary, and cheese. So here goes a version using a couple of those; rosemary and sour cream. It’s an incredibly fast and easy dish, and it’s also clean. You’ll only need the chopping board, knife, and dish where you’ll be baking. And the result is so good you’ll hardly believe it was that simple. Read more for the recipe.
Sour cream and rosemary baked potatoes

3 tbsp olive oil
Leaves of 2 large sprigs fresh rosemary
Freshly ground pepper
Fine sea salt
Directions

Cut the potatoes in big chunks, about 3 cm big. Place them on your baking dish along with the rest of the ingredients and mix them thoroughly. Cover with foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and switch your oven to broil. Cook for 5more minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Oh yummy! Potatoes have a place on mine too – the only reason people don’t eat them all the time is because so many don’t know how to make them brilliant – you clearly do 😀
MM! This looks outrageous! Thank you for sharing 😉 I think I might serve this tonight with some hot hot entrecote!
oooh now I want to eat entrecote as well!
This is so tempting. I’ve just decided what I want for dinner tomorrow.
