Ingredients
- 2 kg of Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and prevent discoloration.
- Cook the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Add a generous pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
- Heat the milk and butter: While the potatoes are cooking, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted.
- Drain and mash: Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well in a colander. Transfer them back to the pot or to a large bowl, and mash them with a potato masher until there are no large lumps left.
- Mix in the remaining ingredients: Gradually mix in the warm milk-butter mixture, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Continue to mash until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chives, and serve your Creamy Dreamy Mashed Potatoes while they’re hot.
Tips
- Using a combination of Russet and Yukon Gold potatoes gives you the best of both worlds: the fluffiness of Russets and the buttery flavor of Yukon Golds.
- For an extra creamy texture, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
