8 cups water
1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
2 pounds red potatoes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup half-and-half
black pepper (as needed for seasoning)
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a large pot add 2 quarts (8 cups) of water and 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil.

  • Microwave half-and-half for 45 seconds until warmed, about 120ºF (49ºC).
  • Whisk together half-and-half and ½ teaspoon salt.

  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  • Garnish with black pepper and chives.

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).

½ cup milk
½ cup sour cream

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Red potatoes are ideal for this recipe because they hold their shape well and have a slightly waxy texture that makes them creamy when mashed.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy when mashed.
  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: Excess water will make the mashed potatoes watery.
  • Use a potato ricer or masher: A potato ricer will give you the smoothest mashed potatoes, but a potato masher will also work well.
  • Add milk and butter gradually: Start with a small amount of milk and butter and add more as needed until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with chives or other herbs: This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Mashed red potatoes with chives are a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them creamy or chunky, mild or garlicky, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
