My Bama's Chopped Sour Cream Potatoes
My Bama's Chopped Sour Cream Potatoes
***The sour cream mentioned here is homemade from old-fashioned cream-on-the-top whole milk which is very difficult to find in many states these days. Our current commercial sour cream just does not taste the same in this recipe.***
4 large potatoes baked, chopped into ˝” dice
1& ˝ pints of sour cream stirred til ‘soupy’
A small bit of milk/cream if needed for above
Minced onion
Salt and pepper
Stir minced onion into sour cream.
Put potatoes into buttered baking dish and cover with sour cream.
Season generously with salt and pepper.
Try topping with a bit of shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes until browned and bubbly.

Jan, try substituting plain Greek yogurt for 1/4 of the sour cream. It does work. (Just read the label carefully, some places, Safeway for example, put sugar in the plain yogurt.) I learned that lesson one day when I put it on a baked potato, yech!

Your potatoes sound great. I can still remember the taste of the cream on top of the milk when I spent 10 days with my gma and her brother on his farm. He milked his 3-4 cows and grandma would take that cream and make butter with it in the mixer. Those were the days. We were trying to help him get back on track after his wife died. Tell you what come 8:00 p.m. I was in bed and out like a light.

Amazing some of the memories we have! I grew up on a farm where my dad milked the cows by hand. After putting the milk in gallon jugs, the cream rose to the top of the whole milk. My mom made butter from her "collection" of cream from several days' worth of milk.
