SOUR CREAM MASHED POTATOES
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.
- As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disc/blade over a glass bowl. 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. Taste for seasoning and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes: These varieties are best for mashing because they have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and smooth.
- Boil potatoes in salted water: This helps to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly: Any excess water will make the mashed potatoes watery and runny.
- Mash potatoes with butter, milk, and cream cheese: These ingredients will make the mashed potatoes rich and creamy.
- Season mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder: This will help to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.
- Top mashed potatoes with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include gravy, shredded cheese, sour cream, and chives.
