Ingrediencie

3 lbs yukon potatoes (or russet potatoes (peeled and quartered)

1 /2 cup milk

8 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)

10 tbsp sour cream (or 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp)

salt and pepper for taste

Postup

Cook potatoes

Add the peeled and quartered potatoes to a large pot. Fill the pot with enough cold water to just cover the potatoes. Place the pot on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.

Steam the Potatoes

Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Cover with a lid and let them sit for 5 minutes. This step helps remove excess moisture for fluffier mashed potatoes.

Mash potatoes

Heat the milk in the microwave until hot (but not boiling). Add half of the hot milk, softened butter, and sour cream to the potatoes. Mash using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy. If the mashed potatoes are too thick, add more hot milk a little at a time, stirring after each addition, until you reach your desired consistency.

Season and serve

Stir in salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with pats of butter for extra richness. Serve immediatelySharing is caring, so please share this recipe, so other people can enjoy it!
