  • 3/4 cup finely chopped chives, plus more for garnish
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
  • Four 10-ounce baking potatoes

Method

  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter, 3/4 cup of chives, 1/2 cup of sour cream and the salt and pepper; mix until smooth.
  • Transfer the butter to a large sheet of plastic wrap and form into a log.
  • Wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Light a gas grill.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice each potato crosswise at 1/3-inch intervals, cutting down but not all the way through the potato.
  • Cut the chive butter into thin slices, then carefully tuck the butter in between the potato slices.
  • Wrap each potato tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Set the potatoes on the grill over low heat, cover and cook, turning occasionally, until tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Unwrap the potatoes, garnish with finely chopped chives and serve with sour cream.
