How to Make Amazing Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

Impress your guests with sour cream mashed potatoes.

Add sour cream to your mashed potatoes for a richer taste and creamier texture. Choose regular or low fat sour cream, but skip the fat-free version. Serve topped with chives, cheddar cheese or crumbled bacon.

Things You'll Need

• 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup low fat or regular sour cream
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• Fresh ground pepper

Instructions

1. Peel potatoes and cut into quarters. Place the potatoes in a large stockpot and add water about 3 inches deeper than the level of the potatoes.

2. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork. Drain the water, moving the potatoes to a colander or bowl.

3. Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or a hand mixer to remove all of the lumps. Stir in the butter, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper.
