Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, poke several holes around each potato to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are soft and a knife can easily pierce through them.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
Slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the fluffy potato flesh into a large mixing bowl, discarding the skins.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the heavy cream until warm.
Pour the butter and cream mixture over the baked potato flesh. Add the sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this luxurious take on mashed potatoes!
