No. 621 — Potatoes Baked with Sour Cream, Another Method
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 621 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Cook potatoes in salted water, peel and chop finely, then fry in butter.
Stir in sour cream and put into the oven for ten to fifteen minutes. Transfer to a smooth buttered mold sprinkled with breadcrumbs and bake again.
When the potatoes draw away from the mold's edges, turn out onto a serving dish. Serve at breakfast as a dish on its own, or alongside a roast at dinner.
