The other day, I made potato cakes and when I went to serve them realized not only did I not have any plain yogurt to serve them with, I had no sour cream either!

I hate that! But I refuse to be thwarted in my own kitchen…LOL…There’s always a back-up plan.

The first back-up plan you should take is to mix buttermilk with vinegar to make a sort of creme fraiche. However, I didn’t have any buttermilk or creme for that matter…

What to do…This was my solution:

Type: Sauce Recipe
Serve With: in the place of sour cream or plain yogurt
Prep Time: 3 minutes
Yield: approximately 1 1/4 cups

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tsp lemon juice – or 1 tsp vinegar
• sea salt – to taste

Instructions:

1. Blend in a blender or food processor until completely smooth.
2. Add sea salt to taste & serve in place of sour cream or plain yogurt.

It’s NOT exactly like sour cream or plain yogurt, but in a pinch, when you’re stuck, this will certainly do.
