For extra richness, substitute half-and-half or heavy cream for the milk. A touch of garlic powder or roasted garlic can add a delightful depth of flavor. Warm the milk and sour cream slightly before adding them to the potatoes for a smoother consistency. To keep potatoes warm before serving, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPlace the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with generously salted water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. (2 minutes)
02
StepReduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. A knife should slide easily into the potatoes.
03
StepCarefully drain the potatoes in a colander, ensuring all water is removed.
04
StepReturn the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
05
StepUsing a potato masher or an electric mixer on low speed, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to gummy potatoes.
06
StepTaste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more milk for a creamier consistency or more sour cream for a tangier flavor.
