• 
  It is advisable to choose potatoes of more or less the same size so that they bake at the same time. Wash the tubers thoroughly under running water. We will not peel the peel, therefore, to be sure that it is clean, we use a brush when washing.
• 
  Place the washed potatoes in a saucepan, fill them with water so that they completely cover the tubers, and place them on the stove. From the moment of boiling, we cook vegetables for twenty to twenty five minutes. At the end of cooking, pierce one of the potatoes with a thin knife - the blade should freely enter the vegetable. If necessary, increase the cooking time - the potatoes should become soft, but not overcooked.
• 
  After cooking, drain the water, and let the potatoes cool to a comfortable temperature. For each potato, prepare a piece of foil to size. Drop a little vegetable oil on each piece of foil. We also grease the surface of the potato itself with oil. We make a cruciform incision on each vegetable. Put a small piece of butter into the incision.
• 
  We wrap the potatoes in foil with the shiny side inward, lifting the edges of the foil up and connecting them - so then it will be easy to unfold the structure. Leave the potatoes in such a position that the butter cut is on top under the collected edges of the foil. We put potatoes in foil on a baking sheet and set in an oven preheated to 190 degrees. We bake for twenty minutes.
• 
  While the potatoes are baking, prepare the sauce. To do this, thoroughly wash and dry all the greens. We cut it as finely as possible with a knife on a board.
• 
  Put sour cream, mayonnaise, salt and black pepper into a small container to taste. Peel the garlic and pass it through a press. Mix the garlic gruel with the sour cream mixture, stir.
• 
  Add chopped greens to the resulting sauce, mix.
• 
  We take out the potatoes from the oven, carefully unfold the foil to reveal the incision. Return the vegetables to the top level in the oven and brown them for ten minutes.
• 
  We take out the potatoes from the oven and put a spoonful of the prepared sauce into the incision. Serve baked potatoes directly in foil.
