Cold Potatoes in Sour Cream (Layered Potato Salad)

Sweet PQ?'s Note:

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.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 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

Directions:

1. 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.
2. Mix the mayonaisse, sour cream, bacon and salt together. Set aside.
3. Put a layer of potato slices in a bowl, spread with the sour cream mixture.
4. Sprinkle with green onions and egg.
5. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.
6. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
7. I usually sprinkle with paprika and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
