Cold Potatoes in Sour Cream (Layered Potato Salad)
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.

DIRECTIONS
- 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.
