I used peeled Idaho potatoes but otherwise made this recipe as is. It is delicious - I topped with slow cooked hen covered in gravy. Loved how easy the recipe is to make using extra ingredients I always have around the kitchen.

Made as-is and they turned out great. I added the sour slowly to make sure potatoes did not get runny. I used the entire quantity and it was fine.

Loved the taste of these. Just do what the recipe says and gradually add the sour cream so you can monitor the consistency. Mine was too runny.
