1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped chives
3/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Tips for Perfect Mashed Potatoes:

  • Select the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for fluffy mashed potatoes. They have high starch content that breaks down during cooking, resulting in a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Boil Potatoes in Unsalted Water: Adding salt to the boiling water can make the potatoes tough. Salt can be added later to taste.
  • Drain Potatoes Thoroughly: After boiling, drain the potatoes well to remove excess water. This helps prevent watery mashed potatoes.
  • Mash Potatoes While Hot: Mash the potatoes while they are still hot. This makes them easier to mash and helps release their natural starches.
  • Use Butter and Milk: Butter and milk are classic ingredients for mashed potatoes. They add richness, creaminess, and flavor. Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness.
  • Add Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of mashed potatoes by adding aromatics like garlic, shallots, or herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can also add roasted garlic for a more intense flavor.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the mashed potatoes before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add salt, pepper, and additional herbs or spices to your preference.

Conclusion:

Mashed potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can elevate any meal. Whether you prefer them simple or loaded with mix-ins, these recipes provide a range of options to suit your taste and occasion. Remember, the key to perfect mashed potatoes is using the right potatoes, boiling and draining them properly, and mashing them while hot. Experiment with different ingredients and flavors to create your own signature mashed potato recipe that will be a hit at your table.
