Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
Prep Time:
5 minutes
Cook Time:
30 minutes
Total Time:
35 minutes
Ingredients
- 6 – 8 Potatoes (I peel mine only if they have super tough Idaho-ish skins.)
- 1/4 c. Potato Water
- 1/4 c. Butter (any kind)
- 1 – 2 t. Salt/Garlic Salt/Lawry’s Salt
- 1/4 c. Milk (any kind)
- 1/4 c. Sour Cream (optional, but makes all the difference!)
Instructions
- Peel potatoes if desired.
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until soft.
- Reserve 1/4 c. of the water the potatoes were boiled in.
- Drain the remaining water.
- Add reserved water and butter to the potatoes.
- Mash the potatoes well.
- Mix in the salt, milk and sour cream.
Notes
- If you measure potatoes in pounds, this is the equivalent of a 3 lb bag
- I like to use my mixer do the work with a whip attachment.
- Don't have a potato masher or mixer? A sturdy wire whisk is an effective tool as well!
Garnish with fresh Green Onions, Garlic Shoots or Chives
