Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups sour cream
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into roughly equal-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and set them aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes using a colander and return them to the hot pot to help evaporate excess water.
Add the butter, milk, and sour cream to the pot with the hot potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until they reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. Add more adobo sauce for extra heat, if preferred.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish to complement your favorite main course.
