Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1.5 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Low-sodium sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato cubes into a large saucepan and cover them with the low-sodium broth. Add enough water if needed to ensure the potatoes are fully submerged.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small pan over low heat and add the minced garlic. Cook the garlic gently until it's fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the hot saucepan to remove excess moisture.
Step 6
Add the garlic butter mixture and low-sodium sour cream to the potatoes, and use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash them until they're smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Stir in the chopped chives, black pepper, and paprika to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired. Enjoy your low-sodium creamy sour cream potatoes as a comforting side dish.
