Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

Steps

1. 1Before preparing any of your other ingredients, cut butter into 1-inch pieces and set both the butter and your measured-out sour cream in a warm spot in your kitchen.
2. 2Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and add water until the potatoes are completely submerged. Add salt and bring the pot to a boil and then reduce heat and bring the water down to a good simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender—you should be able to easily mash a piece against the side of the pot with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
3. 3In the last couple minutes of cooking time for the potatoes, heat all of the milk in the microwave until it is steaming hot but not boiling.
4. 4Drain the potatoes, add the cubed butter, and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes*. Stir in ¼ cup of the warmed milk and all of the sour cream.
5. 5Taste and add more warmed milk, salt, and pepper as needed.
6. 6To keep them warm, cover the potatoes until you’re ready to serve them. Enjoy!
