Potatoes
- 3 Pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and quartered)
Flavorings
- 6 Cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 Teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- ¼ Teaspoon black pepper
Dairy
- ½ Cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 8 Ounces sour cream (at room temperature)
- ¼ Cup whole milk (at room temperature)
Garnish (optional)
- Chives or parsley (fresh chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel and quarter 3 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes to ensure even cooking and quicker boiling.
- Boil the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water, making sure they are fully submerged.
- Cook the potatoes: Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12 to 15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- Drain and transfer: Drain the cooked potatoes well and place them into a large bowl for mashing.
- Mash the potatoes: Add ½ cup unsalted butter, ¼ cup whole milk, 8 ounces sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes. Mash until you achieve your desired creamy consistency.
- Adjust seasoning and serve: Taste the mashed potatoes and add more salt or pepper if needed. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes for their buttery flavor and smooth texture.
- Keeping dairy products at room temperature helps them blend better and creates a creamier mash.
- You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and extra protein.
- For vegan variation, use plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
- Make sure not to overcook potatoes to avoid a watery mash.
