yes, the main thing is to add sour cream, otherwise any cottage cheese doesn't taste very good
However, sour cream is a good addition to dishes. Some bland vegetable soup is only conditionally edible on its own, but with sour cream, it gains fat and protein, and it becomes edible. Sour cream goes well in mushroom soup. Pelmeni – you can stew them in the oven with sour cream and cheese, it's a great thing. In short, sour cream is for me – purely a component of certain suitable dishes, in no case a "sauce."
