It's SPRING! WOOO HOOO!!! Winter can now officially go into hibernation .... Yes I was being polite! ;) I love Spring & Summer catching up with friends at BBQ's or down by the beach. Most of the time I am delegated the dessert but I am changing things up this Spring. I am bringing this beauty! This thermomix potato, egg and sour cream bake is absolutely delicious!! And I might sneak a dessert or two in as well... well I can't let my reputation down! :)
This is so simple and really a perfect accompaniment to your own at home BBQ's too - means you get to sit out on the deck/verandah/patio instead of being in the kitchen. I have to admit that I may have just made this one night and forgot about having anything else! It was just nice in a bowl. Albeit the next day I added some shredded chicken.

How did it turn out Ruth?
Ruth says
It tasted great but would not serve to guests due to the curdled cream mixture. Any solution
thermofun says
I'm sorry Ruth I've never encountered that to happen and you're the very first one to mention it. :(
Jenny says
I love the hard boiled eggs in this recipe, and the layering too, such a yummy dish hubby said it was really good! Will have to cook it again soon!
thermofun says
Thank you Jenny! :)
Sheryll Gray says
This is one of our family favourites, so easy to add some shredded chicken, or to have by itself.
thermofun says
Thank you Sheryll - a favourite here too! :)
Barbara says
Can you just beat the egg mixture and pour in instead and bake that way?
thermofun says
Hi Barbara, I've never done it that way but it could be worth a try. I personally like the chunks of hard boiled egg throughout. I'd love to hear how it goes if you do try it.
jessica says
This was amazing! my son complained I didn't make enough as he polished off what was left in the dish!!!
i was kinda weirded out by boiled egg in a potato bake but was pleasantly surprised by how yumm it was with them in!
Will be on a permanent rotation from now on.
