French-Style Potatoes

Preparation

1. 1

   Peel the potatoes and put them on to boil. If they are large, feel free to halve them so they cook faster.

   Hard-boil the eggs, peel them and cut them into slices.

   Tip: To be sure the eggs are cooked through, start them in cold water and boil for 10 minutes from the moment the water boils, but no longer, or a dark, almost greenish layer will form around the yolk.

   

   

   
3. 3

   Skin the sausage and cut it into slices. You will save some time if you do this while the eggs and potatoes are cooking.

   Tip: The dish is just as tasty if, instead of the sausage we used, you take salami, frankfurters, ham sausage, some other kind of sausage or even bacon.

   In a separate small bowl stir the sour cream, salt it, add the milk and mix it all well.

   Tip: First stir the salted sour cream with a very little milk, breaking up every lump, and only then add the rest of the milk while stirring. That is the simplest way to a smooth, even mixture.
