5 Ingredient Sour Cream and Chive Fries

Dec 23, 2021 · 10 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This 5 ingredient sour cream and chive fries recipe is so easy to put together and tastes just like the recipe at one of my favorite Milwaukee restaurants.

If you’ve ever visited Milwaukee and gone to a restaurant (specifically Saz’s), you may have seen Sour Cream and Chive Fries on the menu.  Hopefully you ordered them and know what great flavors the pairing of sour cream and chives are. If not, try these immediately and fall in love!

Ingredients for sour cream and chive fries

What ingredients do you need for sour cream and chive fries?

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Sour cream – you can use reduced fat if you’d like
  • Dried chives – find these by the spices in the grocery store
  • Herb sea salt – I use this one
  • Potatoes – Russet potatoes are the best

Mixing ingredients in glass bowl

How do you make the sour cream and chive coating for these fries?

  • Combine olive oil, sour cream, chives and sea salt
  • Slice potatoes in chunk pieces
  • Coat potatoes in sour cream mixture
  • Spread on pan
  • Bake and enjoy!

Sliced Potatoes

The end result are flavorful crispy oven fries you’ll love as a snack or side to any dish.  And if you’re looking for other delicious fries, you can try these crispy parmesan fries as well.  Yum!

Coating potates with sour cream and chive

Once you’ve cut potatoes in nice large slices, all you need to do is coat them in your sour cream mixture, spread on a sheet pan and bake!

I like my fries to be a bit crispy and the trick for getting that nice crunchy exterior is to leave them sitting on the sheet pan for a little while once they come out of the oven so don’t skip that step!

    Delicious recipe! We did potato wedges, and left the skin on, but they still turned out just as delicious!

      Thank you so much for sharing that feedback Justin! Now I’m totally craving these and need to make them again. Love that you made them into potato wedges and left the skin on, I have a feeling that’s what I’m going to do when I make them again!

    These fries are amazing! Taste just like Saz’s fries!! I made a batch and left them on the stove to cool while I prepared our dinner table. I came back into the kitchen to see almost the whole tray gone! My son and his two friends had devoured it in less than 10 mins! Thanks for the recipe!!

    I am originally from Milwaukee, but moved to Georgia in 2007. I loved the restaurant on State St. that served these fries. I am grateful to come across this recipe. Will be trying it very soon. Thank you!

      Thank you for the comment! They were definitely delicious and worth trying, here in Wisconsin they have Sour Cream and Chive Fries at some restaurants which is where I got the inspiration, but once you try them, you’ll know why they are popular.

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
