Boil the potato slices in lightly salted water in a saucepan until they are cooked but firm. Remove and drain.

Add the olive oil to a medium-size saucepan, over moderate heat and when hot, add the asafetida. Sauté briefly; add the rosemary, pepper and turmeric and stir briefly. Add the sour cream, melted butter, salt and water. Whisk it into a smooth sauce and remove from the heat.

Combine the potato slices and sour cream sauce in a mixing bowl. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish, sprinkle with paprika, and place in the top of a preheated 325 degree F oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown
