Cold Potatoes in Sour Cream (Layered Potato Salad) image

This was my mom's version of potato salad. She never mixed the ingredients together, she layered them. Serve this in a clear glass bowl. Use a casserole dish, if you want just one layer of salad. I'm so glad I found this recipe in my collection - it's been "lost" for 20yrs-- lol! . Feel free to adjust the amount of egg & green onion to your taste. NOTE: Prep time does not include chilling time.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 large potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise (mom used Miracle Whip, but I prefer Hellman's)
2 cups sour cream
1 pinch salt
3 green onions, diced
2 eggs, hard boiled & grated on large side of grater
6 slices bacon, fried crisp & crumbled

Steps:

  • Peel and boil potatoes, whole, until cooked, but firm. Do NOT overcook, because once potatoes are cooled to room temperature, you will be slicing them across (like for scalloped potatoes). I find my mandolin makes short work of this.
  • Mix the mayonaisse, sour cream, bacon and salt together. Set aside.
  • Put a layer of potato slices in a bowl, spread with the sour cream mixture.
  • Sprinkle with green onions and egg.
  • Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
  • Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
  • I usually sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
