We tend to think of Thanksgiving, Sunday dinner or other holidays when it comes to mashed potatoes. These do not disappoint. They are full of flavor and nice and fluffy! It’s really important to use Russet potatoes here. Yukon gold or Red tend to have a more glue like consistency.
Recipe
10 large Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter
Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
Once you have the potatoes peeled and chopped, rinse through a strainer to remove any excess starches. This will help keep them fluffy. Boil the prepared potatoes in a large pot with water just covering them. Crack the lid if it bubbles over. Once the potatoes are soft strain and put back in the pot. Add the sour cream, butter and salt and pepper to the pot and whip with a hand held mixer until nice and fluffy. Serve immediately.
