- 2 tablespoons Light butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot.
Add the almond milk, reduced-fat sour cream, and light butter to the pot with the warm potatoes.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if needed.
Stir in the chopped chives, salt, and black pepper, mixing until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional chopped chives if desired.
