In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and a lid and boil until fork tender. About 30 minutes or so depending on the size of your potatoes. Just test them with a fork every 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Brush the bottom of a large baking sheet with olive oil.
Place the potatoes on the baking sheet with a few inches of space between each one.
Using a potato smasher, press each potato until the skin breaks and it resembles a lumpy potato cake.
Brush the top of each potato with the melted butter.
Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Top with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chopped chives. Enjoy!.
