Number Of Ingredients 6

- enough russet potatoes to feed at least 6 people.
3 - green onions chopped very fine, about 1/4 cup
1/2 - cup sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 - cup real sour cream, more if too thick
1/2 - stick of butter, save a small pat for the top
- salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

  • Peel your potatoes, cut into uniform chunks
  • Cover with water, and put them on to boil. Boil until just tender to mash, don't overcook or undercook. Drain the hot potatoes, save the water for gravy, if you wish.
  • You can use a hand masher, if you wish. I mash the potatoes in the same stainless steel pot I used to boil them. That way, I can put them in the oven to keep them warm until serving time. Place the well-drained potatoes on top of the onions, add the butter, add the sour cream, then add the cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. More on mashing in step 3.
  • I use the electric mixer to mash my potatoes. It does a great job of whipping the daylights out of the potatoes! I also whip my potatoes in the sink to avoid splattering potatoes all over the place. Start off on a low setting, breaking up the chunks of potatoes and combining the ingredients. After the potatoes are mixed, turn the mixer on high and whip them. This does not take very long. Taste to make sure the seasoning is right. Use the tines of a salad serving fork to make the pattern in my photo. I make little stand-up peaks. Cover the dish with foil and set in the oven on 200 degrees to keep warm. Serve with or without gravy. Add that little pat of butter for the top before serving. Your mama will love you!
  • Cook's Tip: You can put your potatoes on to boil with a lid, and when they come to a fast boil turn off the burner and remove pan covered (no peeking!) to the back of the stove. After they sit for one hour, they should be done. All you have to do, is bring them to a boil again which heats them up, and proceed to make your mashed potatoes. This method frees up and extra burner when you have several dishes working at once. You can put the potatoes either in the oven to keep warm or in a hot crockpot. Enjoy!

I CANT BELIEVE ITS NOT MASHED POTATOES



I Cant Believe Its Not Mashed Potatoes image

O.k, I know everyone is saying whats the point of using " i cant believe its not butter" instead of the real thing, when you are using other ingredients like cream and sour cream..Well it just makes me feel like Im cheating a bit, and these taters are to die for.!!I'm pretty much guessing the measurements 'cos i just throw everything together usually. Red potatoes with their skin on work the best, but any other potatoes ( peeled ) will do.
