Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds red skinned potatoes scrubbed and cut into 2-inch chunks
  • ¾ cup 2% milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons room-temperature butter
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot or Dutch oven with cold water. Cover and bring to a boil. Carefully add the potatoes, reduce to a strong simmer, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 20-25 minutes.
  • When the potatoes are fork tender, strain, then add back to the warm pot over low heat. Immediately add the milk, sour cream, butter and salt. Mash with a potato masher until the desired consistency is reached. Taste and add additional salt, butter, or sour cream if desired. Serve with optional freshly ground pepper and chopped chives.
