Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1.5 cups Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Low-sodium sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes into a large saucepan and cover them with the low-sodium broth. Add enough water if needed to ensure the potatoes are fully submerged.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small pan over low heat and add the minced garlic. Cook the garlic gently until it's fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to burn it.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the hot saucepan to remove excess moisture.
Add the garlic butter mixture and low-sodium sour cream to the potatoes, and use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash them until they're smooth and creamy.
Stir in the chopped chives, black pepper, and paprika to enhance the flavor profile of the dish.
Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired. Enjoy your low-sodium creamy sour cream potatoes as a comforting side dish.
