Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-assisted).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, as they will be baked with their skins on. Prick them several times with a fork, brush them all over with extra-virgin olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in a baking dish and bake for approximately 45 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing them with a fork – they should be very soft on the inside.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Place the sour cream, chopped chives, and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven. Cut a slit lengthwise along the top of each potato and gently open them. Lightly mash the flesh with a fork, then fill with the sour cream mixture, smoked salmon slices, and capers.

Serve the baked potatoes with a glass of TAL 1930 Alto Adige DOC.
