This was very simple to make but not something I'd make again. It was pretty bland and kind of dry. I think if it had some spices in it and maybe a bit more sour cream when served it would be ok. I noticed when I went to serve it after it had been in the fridge it got dried out and I had a lid for my loaf pan.

Great side dish! It was light and creamy with just the right touch of onion. A nice alternative to potato salad. I served it with grilled steaks and salad. I did add a 4th egg, sliced on the top for garnish. My dh and kids said this is a 'keeper'!

This just did not do it for me. It was easy enough to make but it just did not have any real flavour to make it worthwhile.
