Used primarily in the cuisines of Europe and North America, sour cream is often used as a condiment. It is a traditional topping for baked potatoes, added cold along with chopped fresh chives. It is used as the base for some creamy salad dressings and can also be used in baking, added to the mix for cakes, cookies, American-style biscuits, doughnuts and scones. Can be eaten as a dessert, with fruits or berries and sugar topping. In Central America, crema, a slightly different variation of soured cream, is a staple ingredient of a full breakfast. Sour cream can also provide the base for various forms of dip used for dipping potato chips or crackers, such as "onion dip." In Tex-Mex cuisine, it is often used as a substitute for crema in nachos, burritos, taquitos or guacamole It is probably used as a flavor enhancer or a thickening agent.
