POTATOES SOUR CREAM RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add enough salt so the water tastes quite salty. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
• Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
• As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disc/blade over a glass bowl. Process the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth to force the potatoes through the disc. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk/butter mixture to make the potatoes very creamy. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the sour cream and pepper and whisk to combine. Taste for seasoning and serve hot.

Steps:

• Butter an 11x7-inch (2 quart) baking dish and set aside.
• Slice the peeled potatoes to 1/8 inch thick circles. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven; add water to cover by 1 inch. Cook until tender and cool slightly.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a 2 1/2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion; cook 1 minute. Stir in the flour and salt. Cook until the mixture bubbles. Gradually stir in the milk and cook until the mixture boils. Reduce the heat to low.
• Stir in the sour cream and cheese. Cook on low until cheese is melted, stirring constantly.
• Layer half of potatoes in baking dish. Pour half the sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce. Sprinkle the potatoes with paprika.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until bubbly and the top starts to brown.
