Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large russet potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk, plus more if needed, warmed
2 tablespoons sour cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, cut in half, and place in a pan, then cover with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and continue cooking until the potatoes fall off the fork when pierced, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes. Gently press the potatoes through a sieve (or potato ricer) into a large bowl, using a rubber spatula.
  • Mix in the butter, milk, sour cream, salt and pepper and stir to blend. Add a tablespoon or 2 more of warm milk, if necessary to obtain the desired consistency. Salt and pepper liberally and serve.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk and vegan butter instead. The mashed potatoes were still delicious!

I accidentally used russet potatoes instead of Yukon Gold, but the mashed potatoes still turned out great!

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some garlic and herbs to give it more flavor.

My mashed potatoes turned out a bit lumpy, but they still tasted great. Will try again and hopefully get them smoother next time.

I was a bit skeptical about adding butter and milk to the potatoes, but it really made a difference. The potatoes were so creamy and rich.

I've made mashed potatoes many times before, but this recipe takes the cake! The creamiest, most flavorful mashed potatoes I've ever had. Will definitely be my go-to recipe from now on.
