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.

  • ½ cup butter
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes
  2. and cook until tender
  3. about 15 minutes.
  4. Drain potatoes
  5. and transfer to a bowl. Add butter
  6. and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until potatoes are starting to become smooth. Add milk and sour cream
  7. and mix to your desired texture. Be careful not to overmix the potatoes once they are creamy.
  8. Stir in garlic and basil and season with salt and pepper.
