The process of cooking potatoes baked in sour cream, like in a kindergarten.
Prepare all the necessary ingredients for cooking potatoes baked in sour cream, like in a kindergarten.
Peel the potato tubers: if the vegetables are old, cut off the skin with a peeler, and if they are young, simply scrape it off with a knife. Rinse the peeled potato tubers in water. Then, place them in a cooking pot or another container with a non-stick bottom. Pour hot water and place the container on the stove over high heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, add salt, and cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes. The smaller the size of the potatoes, the less time they will need for cooking. If desired, you can add a couple of bay leaves or other spices to the liquid during cooking for extra flavor.
Drain the water and transfer the potatoes to a deep container. Add the sour cream and gently mix them together, making sure that the potatoes are fully coated with sour cream. If you cooked the dish with old potatoes, it is better to slice them beforehand. Young potatoes do not need to be sliced.
Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle with potatoes in sour cream. Many cooks lightly sprinkle the dish with breadcrumbs on top of the oily layer to get a crispy crust.
Place the dish with the potatoes in the oven at 250°C and bake for about 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
Remove the cooked dish from the oven, use a spatula to transfer the baked potatoes to individual plates, and serve with any meat or fish dish, garnished with chopped or fresh herbs. The potatoes baked in sour cream are ready, just like in a kindergarten!
