20 minutes“You can save a little money-and a few calories-by using reduced-fat or fat-free plain yogurt instead of the sour cream in this recipe. Season potatoes with a little salt if necessary.”
Ingredients
Serves 6
- 12 small red potatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 3 tablespoons chopped black olives
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives or green onions, divided
Directions
1
Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Halve potatoes. Let cool.
2
Meanwhile, combine sour cream, horseradish, olives and 2 tablespoons chopped chives in a bowl; mix well.
3
Cut a sliver from the bottom of each potato half to allow potatoes to stand upright. Scoop a small amount of pulp from each half.
4
Fill potatoes with sour cream mixture. Sprinkle with remaining chopped chives just before serving.

The best bargains on chicken wings, or already trimmed drumettes, can be found in the bulk packages that are often labeled family size. Look for them in the frozen food section of the grocer.
