What to do with sour cream

[georgevan]

so I use sour cream in a recipe and the rest just sits there until I throw it out. It has happened many times. Any suggestions on how to use it?

[ScottinPollock]

Where to start... baked potatoes, cheesecakes, dips for veggies or chips, a dollop with your chili, salad dressings, nachos and other Mex favs, etc.

Use it in mashed potatoes instead of milk/cream.

Also as garnish on tacos. In many recipes, sour cream can be substituted for yogourt and vice versa.

You can use it to make quark, which is very much like cream cheese. Instructions for making quark. That thread also has suggestions for ways to use quark.

Put on a piece of bread, sprinkle some salt, lightly, enjoy sour cream sandwich.

[Chief Longwind Of The North]

use in pancake batter in biscuit recipes, nixed with seasoning salt as a dressing for sliced cucumbers, to make ranch dressing, to make blue cheese dressing, combine with vanilla and cream cheese, and sugar to make a cheesecake flavored topping for graham crackers, and I haven't hardly scratched the surface of how many ways sour cream can be used. It can even be used in cake icings.
