    Crème fraîche IS a type of sour cream (basically the fancier European version). It’s just slightly sweeter and has a higher fat content than the regular stuff.

    But with as many upgrades as this recipe makes over the classic, it’s almost surprising he didn’t substitute this one as well.

      That’s a good point. There are a lot of substitutions.

      I didn’t actually know they were the same. I just prefer the less sour-ness of Crème fraîche.

      Side note: it makes for a really good onion dip with onion soup mix.
