The recipe you are looking for...
Baked Potatoes with Yogurt and Sour Cream - Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics
Ingredients
•4 Idaho russet baking potatoes (I made 3.)
•1/2 cup yogurt ( I put a little more sour cream in than yogurt. I didn't know what the yogurt would do to the sour cream. It turned out that it balanced the flavors beautifully. It added a tangy taste.
•1/2 cup sour cream
•2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish
•Kosher salt and black pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Wash the potatoes and place them directly on the oven baking rack. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until very tender when pierced with a skewer.
Meanwhile, combine the yogurt, sour cream, chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and place in a serving bowl. Garnish with extra chives. Chill.
When the potatoes are done, cut them down the middle and squeeze both ends. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve the hot baked potatoes with the cold chive dressing.

What a nice giveaway, Pam! This looks like a fun read. I think my favorite food is sushi but a hot dog with sauerkraut and hot mustard runs a close second. ;)
I'm not entering your give-away because I'll never get to Chicago. But I wanted to congratulate you on having 200 followers and tell you how much I enjoy your recipes!
Good luck to the winner.
Congrats on 200 followers!
My favorite food... bread with pretzel m&m's a close second.
This is a great giveaway, Pam. My daughter lives in Chicago and I would love to know more about the street food culture there.
I'm a follower too.
Oh, fabulous giveaway! I'm pretty close to Chicago-land myself (South Bend, IN) and would love to pour over this book. I'm a new follower and really!? my favorite food? That's a loaded question...honestly, it depends on the day of the week...and the time of the day. BUT, tacos are always in the back of my mind...so, I'll go with Tacos!
New follower in the house!!! My favorite food is sushi. I've never been to Chicago, well at least outside the airport, but I'm dying to come eat there. I hear it's a great city and similar to my fave city, Boston. Maybe I'll come visit you??? :)
Lots of yummy love,

Congratulations for the well over 200 followers Pam!
Ahhh, forgot to say that my favourite food is cheese!
:-)
Bread. My favorite food is warm, soft bread.
Happy 200!
Pam,
Thanks for visiting me today. I can tell I'm going to find lots of goodies on your blog. I also just became a follower.
Gosh, I don't think I have a favorite food--depends on my mood--anything from Cajun to Chinese to Japanese to good old southern cooking. Oh wait--my favorite would probably be anything with rice!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!
Sounds like a wonderful cookbook! I follow you:) My favorite food is definitely pizza. I bet that cookbook has a deep dish Chicago pizza which I would love to try someday.
Following... Thanks for following me. ;D Love your variety of recipes!
Favorite? That's tough! I LOVE so MUCH when it comes to food...
Chocolate, the other vitamin C!! LOL!!
Boy is it difficult to come up with one favorite food....sushi is a favorite but I love a good baked chicken too! Love your blog and I just became your newest follower! Be back soon. The giveaway book looks wonderful!
Hi Pam. I'm already a follower and I'm already a winner just knowing about this cookbook!! Right now my favorite food is the "deconstructed" eggs benedict at Jam on North Damen in Chicago. I also LOVE their scones!!
Best,
Bonnie
I'm a follower! Love your site! Congrats on all of your followers!
P.S. I just made the smashed potatoes tonight that you had on here the other day....they were AWESOME!!!! Thanks!
Following your blog :) It's hard to pick a favorite food, but Chicago style pizza ranks right up there. I'd love this cookbook!
My favorite food is vanilla bean ice cream. Thank goodness I have good restraint!
Congrats on hitting 200 on your followers. You have one more now :-) Very nice of you to offer that great book.
You should know how hard it is to choose ONE food as a favorite. My husband says I have a bread fetish, so probably any kind of bread. Or Pizza..but its the crust that really floats my boat so back to bread! lol
Happy 200! So enjoy visiting here. The book looks great, and I am of course a follower. Hard to pick a favorite food, but will go with ice cream and pizza is a close second.
Hi Pam! The book sounds very interesting and it's nice of you to be having a give-away.
I am already a follower. My favorite food depends on what my mood is. I have a recipe from "The Frugal Gourmet" (anyone remember him?) from years ago, that are for Chicago-Style Italian Beef Sandwiches (can't remember the exact name) that is one of my favorite things to make when I have company over.
I am number 223 of your followers. And I am so glad we found EACH other. It is so wonderful to have grandchildren - they make the world alive again. I was born and raised in the Chicago area - we moved from Lake Zurich to ATlanta in 1986 - I know right where Cary is and I have friends who live there. Small world. Love your blog.

After chocolate (is that a food) - I like Mediterranean types of food.

Hi Pam! Just found you blog. I love it! I would have to say that my favorite food is chocolate. I know it is cliche but I really do love it in everything! (and I love Chicago but that doesn't help here!) :)
I'm in Pam - love chicago food! Favorite food today happens to be kalamata olives!
Hi Pam,
I've been following for awhile. I gotta say you had me almost running out to get some of that cheese in today's post (7/26) but housework has me tied down (literally!...lol). My favorite food is butter. I know, I know. But just think of all the yummy stuff that we use with it!
:)Congrats on your 200+!
Your butter lovin' sister in Christ,

Hi Pam,
Great give-away.Congrats on 253 followers and its only 7 days later.I fear I may never get that many. Fav food??? Can I say all/everything? No that's not fair is it? OK then, lobster, even though now I can't get it fresh like I did in Florida :( Too far from the coast in NC and everything is flash frozen.
This must be my lucky day. You found me - now I found you AND a give-away! To cook's everywhere (I am raising my wooden spoon)!
Great giveaway, Pam! My favorite food is any kind of pasta :) I think you have a new blog look going here, don't you? (And I'm happy you removed the music... I can't read and listen to music at the same time LOL)
