Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the cubed potatoes into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
While the potatoes boil, peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside for later use.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until a fork easily pierces through the cubes.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer them back into the pot. Place the pot on low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, to evaporate any excess moisture.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Pour the melted butter and garlic over the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
Gradually stir in the milk and sour cream, mixing until creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the 'All Most Mashed Potatoes' to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
