Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
- 3 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (flat-leaf)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the chives and parsley, and set them aside.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow the heat from the pot to evaporate any remaining moisture from the potatoes for 1-2 minutes.
Add the butter, milk, and sour cream to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Fold in the chopped chives and parsley until evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes.
Serve the chive and parsley mashed potatoes hot, garnished with additional chopped herbs if desired.
