Categories     Potatoes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lb russet potatoes or potatoes of your choice[cubed]
1 Tbsp kosher salt for boiling potatoes( or less if desired)
1/2-1 tsp kosher salt for seasoning cooked potatoes if desired
1 tsp coarse black pepper
1 1/2 stick butter softened (less if desired)
1 1/2 c sour cream( we use regular daisy brand) can use lite or fat free
1 Tbsp chopped chive
2 1/2 tsp granulated onion powder [not onion salt]
1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic powder [not garlic salt]
1 good strong potato masher[i use my husband] can use a mixer if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Wash cubed potatoes in colander then add to a large pot. When my favorite potato the YUKON GOLD ARE ON SALE, I prefer to use them for mashed potatoes, but the russet were on sale and that is what I bought. I love the red skins also.
  • 2. Cover potatoes with water and add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. It is best to add the salt to the water and allow the salt to soak into the potatoes as they cook. I have found that They have more flavor that way.
  • 3. Heat pot of potatoes over medium high heat, bring to a boil.
  • 4. Cook till tender, about 18 to 25 minutes, or until the tip of a sharp knife is inserted into potatoes, & it comes out easily.
  • 5. Pour potatoes into a colander, & drain througly.
  • 6. I like to add potatoes back into pot, turn fire on low, and allow excess water to dry out, then remove from heat.
  • 7. Add pepper, butter, chopped chive, onion and garlic powder. Then cream with masher to the chunky state.
  • 8. Now add the sour cream, and beat till potatoes are creamy and smooth, taste, & add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • 9. Add potatoes to a serving bowl, add a pat of butter if desired, while potatoes are still hot. Top with additional chive if desired. Serve & enjoy while potatoes are still hot.

SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

When stovetop and oven space is at a premium, the slow cooker can be a good friend. This hands-off, one-pot recipe makes creamy, slightly tangy mashed potatoes, and, unlike most mashed potato recipes, this one doesn't call for milk. The potatoes give off enough moisture as they braise, so just some extra butter and sour cream is enough to make them smooth. After mashing, the potatoes hold very well on warm for up to 3 hours: Just add the chives and give the potatoes a quick stir before serving.

Categories     dinner, vegetables, side dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks
8 tablespoons/1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus 3 tablespoons, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch chives, minced (about ⅓ cup)

Steps:

  • Toss together the potatoes, melted butter, salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cook on high until the potatoes are very tender, stirring once or twice if possible to encourage even cooking, about 4 hours.
  • Add the sour cream and remaining 3 tablespoons butter and mash the potatoes with a masher until they are smooth and creamy. Just before serving, fold in the chives and season again with black pepper. Taste and add more salt only if necessary.

CREAMY MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives image

These creamy Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives are rich, flavorful and easy! Just 5 ingredients and about 30 minutes for a delicious, make-ahead side dish.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons salted butter, diced at room temperature (plus extra for topping)
1 ½ cups half-and-half or whole milk, at room temperature
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. Add plenty of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, reduce the heat so that the water is simmering. Simmer uncovered until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes really well; return them to the pot.
  • Turn the stove to low heat and gently shake the pan of potatoes over the low flame for about 1 minute, just to make sure that any excess moisture evaporates. You want really dry potatoes!
  • Use a potato masher, potato ricer, or food mill to mash the potatoes. Add the butter and enough half-and-half or milk until the potatoes are very creamy (you might not need all of the milk, so add it gradually and stop when the potatoes reach the desired consistency). Whisk in the sour cream and chives until completely combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with additional butter or chives, if desired.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add enough salt so the water tastes quite salty. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.

Process the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth to force the potatoes through the disc. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk/butter mixture to make the potatoes very creamy. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the sour cream and pepper and whisk to combine.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

This recipe gives you everything you want in a dish of mashed potatoes: supreme creaminess from both butter and sour cream, a deep potato flavor, a little Parmesan for a salty tang, and chives for color and freshness. That said, if you want to bring the fat content down, you can use less butter (as little as 2 tablespoons will still work). But don't skimp on the sour cream, which is necessary for both flavor and texture. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).
