Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 quarters cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into large, even-sized chunks.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water level is about 2 inches above the potatoes.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-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 fresh dill and set it aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow the steam to escape for a minute to ensure the potatoes are dry.
Add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the pot with the hot potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a ricer until smooth and free of lumps.
Fold in 3/4 cup of sour cream, 1/4 cup of whole milk, and the chopped dill. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and additional salt to taste if needed.
Serve the Dill Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill if desired.
