Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Do not allow it to boil; just heat it until warm. Set aside.
Step 5
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Place the pot back on the stove over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate any remaining water.
Step 6
Add the sour cream, butter, warmed milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Step 7
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or use an electric hand mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy. Avoid over-mixing, as this can make the potatoes gluey.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Step 9
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm as a comforting and flavorful side dish.
