Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
Add the potatoes to a large pot and pour in the water. Ensure the water covers the potatoes completely.
Place the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Allow the potatoes to cook for approximately 15-20 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the sour cream mixture. Combine the fresh sour cream, garlic powder, lemon juice, and ground black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Stir until well blended.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return to the pot or a serving bowl.
Add the unsalted butter to the hot potatoes and gently toss until the butter is melted and evenly coats the potatoes.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and drizzle with the prepared sour cream mixture.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top for garnish and additional flavor.
Serve warm, and enjoy your deliciously light and flavorful low sodium boiled potatoes with sour cream.
