These Idaho Sour Cream Cups are mini baked potatoes filled with creamy sour cream, melted cheese, and fresh chives. They’re a perfect side dish for any occasion, easy to make, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Idaho potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Wash and dry the Idaho potatoes. Slice them into thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes until they’re just soft but still hold their shape.
  2. Make the Sour Cream Filling: While the potatoes bake, mix the sour cream, melted butter, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Assemble the Cups: Once the potato rounds are baked, spoon a little of the sour cream mixture onto each one. Top with the remaining cheese.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Return the potato cups to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can prepare the potatoes and sour cream mixture ahead of time and bake them when ready to serve.
  • For extra flavor, top with crumbled bacon or try using different types of cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
  • Greek yogurt can be used instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
