Melinda's notes: I got this from an old *P acquaintance long ago. I don't know how original Polish it is since it uses Maggi Seasoning, which I think is German, but we like it. Maggi Seasoning comes in a square-ish brown bottle and can be purchased in the gourmet section of your supermarket. I always omit the salt. The original recipe called for 4 oz. sour cream, but I like it with 8 oz. I usually use the light sour cream, but the non-fat doesn't do well, it seems to just dissolve and become tastele
