Crash Hot Potatoes


Sometimes I can't believe how delicious something very simple can be. I found the idea for these potatoes at For the love of cooking. I think I first made them just because they looked pretty, but then I discovered they were very tasty as well. The outside is crunchy, while the inside is creamy and smooth. What I really like about them is that I find them very versatile, and I already have a bunch of ideas for serving them. I topped this batch with a mixture of clotted cream, sour cream, herbs and leeks.

Ingredients

10 potatoes
salt, pepper
oil

For the topping

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup clotted cream
1/2 tsp chopped fresh or dried parsley
1/2 tsp chopped fresh or dried dill
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup chopped or sliced leeks

Boil the potatoes until soft. Place them on a trey (oiled or lined with parchment), season with salt and pepper and drizzle with oil. Bake until crispy and golden.
Mix the topping ingredients and top the potatoes. Serve warm.
