OK, who’s still here after we said anchovy? Show of hands? They really are the most delicious unfairly maligned bits of goodness on the planet. Anchovy lovers unite. Anchovies can be added to taste. We used four, but Katherine would have preferred three. Skeptics, start with one.
Mini Baked Potatoes with Anchovy Sour Cream
- 28 ounces mixed fingerling or other small potatoes (about four cups)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp horseradish
- 3-4 anchovy fillets
- juice from half a lemon
- dash sriracha
- 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
- black pepper to taste
- salted capers, green onions or chopped parsley for garnish
Wash potatoes and prick each a few times with a fork. In a large bowl, toss potatoes in olive oil to coat. Lay flat on a baking sheet and cook at 400 until fork tender, about 30 minutes. In the meantime, in a small bowl use a fork to mash anchovy fillets to a paste. Mix in remaining ingredients, except garnish, and adjust seasoning as needed. When potatoes are done, top each with a dollop of the sour cream and garnish of your choice.
Anchovies, lemons and capers are my three favourite flavour enhancers. Nice little recipe.
This is the perfect foil for that little maligned creature
Great idea!
I love anchovies – but not on pizza. Whose idea was that, anyway?
I bought some Italian white anchovies and boy are they lovely! I really started to appreciate them while in Europe this past fall.
You had me at anchovy.
Great use of anchovies!
I love anchovies and use them all the time – great potatoes
Anchovies and mini baked potatoes! Perfectly perfect together.
Simple and good! I am sure the anchovies are a great addition.. morning! c
What cute little potatoes. Well, except for the anchovy part.
Anchovies make a Caesar Salad . . . and all things Worchestershire . . . so why not tiny tatties!
Ha! Anchovy lovers unite. Mike would start with four. I would start with one. Worth a shot though – they do look adorable. And my tastes have changed over time. I should give the little buggers a shot again.
Oh, yum! Horseradish and anchovies in the same sauce! I’m glad the recipe only requires 3 – 4 anchovies. That will leave me plenty to snack on while the potatoes roast.
I´m here jumping up and down at the back and waving my hands…yes please!
At first I was wondering how you found mini baked patotes and was super impressed. Now, after I read the ingredients, I’m still impressed. Not scared of the anchovies one bit.
Never ever would I thought to do this! I’m mighty glad you did though, and grateful you shared it!
