*NOTE* I prepared the recipe with only 1 cup of sour cream and 3 green onions, I think these two ingredients were typed in twice on the recipe. I served these potatoes last night with Best Grilled Pork Chops (Best Grilled Pork Chops) and grilled asparagus. They were an excellent addition to the meal. The flavor was very good and the texture was creamy, thanks for posting!
