1-1/2 cups sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne (or hot sauce). Blend well.
With 1 tablespoon of the butter, coat the inside of an 8" square (or equivalent size) baking dish, then make a layer of about one third the potatoes.
Arrange 2 of the sliced eggs on top of the potatoes. With a spatula, spread on about one third of the sour cream mixture. Repeat the potato layer, the egg layer, and sour cream. Add a final layer of potatoes, then the final one third of sour cream.
Sprinkle evenly with bread crumbs, dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake for 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. (Can be reheated.)
