½ cup sour cream
Instructions
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform chunks.
-
Boil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot with cold water and 2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
-
Smoke the Potatoes (Optional): Wrap the boiled potatoes in foil and smoke them at 225°F for 30-40 minutes for added smokiness.
-
Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher or hand mixer for a smoother texture.
-
Make the Mash Creamy: In a saucepan, melt butter and heavy cream over low heat. Pour over the mashed potatoes and mix.
-
Add Gouda and Sour Cream: Stir in Gouda cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
-
Season and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
Notes
Variations: Add roasted garlic, fresh herbs, or try different cheeses like cheddar or Gruyère. For a lighter version, swap butter with olive oil and use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
