Description
This is a version of Mashed Potatoes that my husband actually likes. You can use any type of potatoes and change the amounts of butter, sour cream, and milk to your taste. I like it with russets myself.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds unpeeled potatoes, cubed
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes
- and cook until tender
- about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes
- and transfer to a bowl. Add butter
- and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until potatoes are starting to become smooth. Add milk and sour cream
- and mix to your desired texture. Be careful not to overmix the potatoes once they are creamy.
- Stir in garlic and basil and season with salt and pepper.
