Overheard a lady at the grocery store say she uses plain yogurt instead of sour cream in everything
She was talking to her friend by the dairy section and said she hasn't bought sour cream in two years. Said it works in dips, on tacos, even in baked goods. I tried it last night in my chili and honestly couldn't tell the difference. Has anyone else made this swap and had it work out?

Hang on, you really couldn't tell the difference? I tried it in my taco meat once and it was way too thin and kinda tangy in a weird way. Sour cream has that thick, cold creaminess that yogurt just can't match, especially on a hot baked potato. And for dips like French onion, the plain yogurt always ends up watery after sitting out for ten minutes. Maybe I just bought the wrong brand but it's been a hard no for me ever since.

Gotta disagree with you there, but I get where you're coming from. I've had good luck using plain Greek yogurt, the thick kind, and it holds up way better than regular yogurt in dips and on baked potatoes. Your mileage may vary, but for me it's been a solid swap that doesn't get watery.

You ever try skyr instead of Greek yogurt, @adamk95? I ran out of sour cream once and used it on chili cheese fries, and it was thick enough to hold up without getting watery. Still a little tangier than sour cream, but close enough that nobody at the table noticed.
