Directions 4 steps | 40 Minutes
Step 1
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring the 2 quarts of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil for about 15 minutes, or until they are completely tender.
Step 2
Drain the water from the saucepan leaving the potatoes. Add the sour cream, milk, butter, chives, salt and pepper into the saucepan.
Step 3
Mash with a potato masher or process in a potato ricer. (See notes 3.)
Step 4
Season to taste and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes:
- Other varieties of potatoes will work for this recipe but Yukon gold potatoes are preferred.
- If using kosher salt, sure to use Morton’s kosher salt. Different kosher salt brands have varied crystal sizes and may affect the salinity of the recipe.
- A potato masher or, better yet, a ricer, helps get the spuds smooth without overworking them in a food processor, which can make them gummy. If you are low on equipment, a couple of forks will do also the job!
