Ingredients

  • 4 baking potatoes
  • 1 1/4 cups sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • A good grinding white pepper
  • 1/3 cup freshly chopped chives
  • Special equipment: 4 metal skewers

Method

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Skewer the baking potatoes with metal skewers, so they cook through faster and place them directly on the middle oven baking rack for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Meantime add the sour cream to a bowl with the whole-grain mustard, salt, white pepper and chopped chives, leaving a teaspoon back to sprinkle on top.
  • Stir all the ingredients together and scatter over the remaining chives.
  • If you are not eating it straight away store it covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
  • When the potatoes are ready with a crisp skin and soft inside, remove them from the oven, take them off the skewers and cut a cross in the top of each of them and slightly squeeze them so they open out and place them into bowl.
  • Serve the potatoes with the chive sour cream on the side and have people help themselves.
