Add garlic and paprika. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Place roasted tomatoes, onions, and hatch chile in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a knife blade.
Process until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
Add sour cream and process until smooth and combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Sauce can be made a day in advance and chilled.
For the potatoes:

Scrub potatoes and dry. Cut potatoes in half and place on large rimmed baking sheet (half sheet size).
Drizzle olive oil on potatoes.
Mix together paprika, hatch chile powder, cumin, and salt. Sprinkle spice mixture over potatoes. Toss potatoes to coat with oil and spices.
Turn potatoes so they are cut side up (skin side down).
Roast for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender on the inside and lightly browned on the outside.
Serve hot with hatch chile sauce.
