Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh chives and set them aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the butter to the hot potatoes and mash them until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Stir in the sour cream, remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the potatoes are creamy and smooth.
Gently fold in the chopped chives, leaving a few for garnish if desired.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining chives.
Serve hot as a creamy, flavorful side dish with your favorite main course.
