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.

CRUSHED SOUR CREAM POTATOES
These extremely rich, highly textured potatoes are no less luxurious than the silky mashed variety, but they are a lot less work. There's no ricing, mashing or whipping - just a simple crush to expose the potatoes' craggy interior. From here on out, the key word is "cream": Creamy potatoes meld with the garlicky heavy cream mixture and lots of sour cream. Small (and yes, creamy) potatoes on the waxy side, like a new potato or even a fingerling, work best here, but a more floury potato cut into large chunks would also work in a pinch. Don't skimp on the black pepper or chives. They truly make this dish.

Steps:
- Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. (This step can be done ahead of time; keep potatoes covered and warm on the stovetop.)
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot over medium heat, gently simmer the cream and the garlic until garlic is completely tender and cream is reduced by about a third (it will look slightly thicker, about the consistency of melted ice cream), 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Add butter and swirl to melt. (This can also be done ahead; rewarm before proceeding.)
- Using your hands or something like a small dish or bowl, crush the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Pour cream mixture over the potatoes, and season with salt and more pepper. Toss to coat, encouraging the potatoes to break down slightly but remain textured and chunky.
- Stir in sour cream, half the chives and half the dill. Transfer to a large serving bowl and top with remaining chives and dill, and more black pepper and sour cream, if you like.
DILL-SOUR CREAM MASHED POTATOES
My very picky traditionalist husband not only loved this recipe, but now insists I make it all the time instead of the old-fashioned recipe. I think it came from Southern Living magazine.

CHEESY MASHED POTATOES

Tips:
- For the best results, use Yukon Gold or russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which makes them creamy and fluffy when mashed.
- Make sure to peel and cube the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you don't have either of these tools, you can use a regular masher, but be sure to mash the potatoes until they are completely smooth.
- Add the milk and butter gradually, and stir constantly. This will help prevent the potatoes from becoming lumpy.
- Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as chives, parsley, or rosemary.
- For a cheesy twist, add some grated cheddar or Parmesan cheese to the mashed potatoes.
- Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker on low heat.
