SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES
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.

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.

- Drain the potatoes in a colander, tossing to remove any excess water. Wipe the saucepan dry. Add the potatoes back to the saucepan and mash to a uniform consistency (or process through a food mill back into the dry pot). Give it a quick mix with a hand mixer to incorporate some air and ensure a smooth texture. Do not overmix or potatoes will become gummy.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES
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).

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water to 2 inches above potatoes. Season water generously with salt and bring potatoes to a boil to cook for 40 minutes, until very tender.
- Drain potatoes and return to pot. Mash potatoes with warm milk until smooth. Fold in mascarpone and chives. Season with 1 teaspoon salt.
Tips:
- To ensure the potatoes are evenly cooked, select potatoes of similar size and cut them into uniform pieces.
- For a crispier smashed potato, use a fork to smash them instead of a potato masher. This will create more surface area for browning.
- Be careful not to overcook the potatoes, as they will become mushy. Cook them until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- For a more flavorful dish, use a flavorful potato variety such as Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes.
- To make the dish even more indulgent, add a dollop of melted butter or sour cream before serving.
- For a healthier version, use olive oil instead of butter and omit the sour cream.
- Toppings like crumbled bacon, grated cheese, or chopped chives can add extra flavor and texture to the dish.
