Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 lb russet potatoes or potatoes of your choice[cubed]
1 Tbsp kosher salt for boiling potatoes( or less if desired)
1/2-1 tsp kosher salt for seasoning cooked potatoes if desired
1 tsp coarse black pepper
1 1/2 stick butter softened (less if desired)
1 1/2 c sour cream( we use regular daisy brand) can use lite or fat free
1 Tbsp chopped chive
2 1/2 tsp granulated onion powder [not onion salt]
1 1/2 tsp granulated garlic powder [not garlic salt]
1 good strong potato masher[i use my husband] can use a mixer if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Wash cubed potatoes in colander then add to a large pot. When my favorite potato the YUKON GOLD ARE ON SALE, I prefer to use them for mashed potatoes, but the russet were on sale and that is what I bought. I love the red skins also.
  • 2. Cover potatoes with water and add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. It is best to add the salt to the water and allow the salt to soak into the potatoes as they cook. I have found that They have more flavor that way.
  • 3. Heat pot of potatoes over medium high heat, bring to a boil.
  • 4. Cook till tender, about 18 to 25 minutes, or until the tip of a sharp knife is inserted into potatoes, & it comes out easily.
  • 5. Pour potatoes into a colander, & drain througly.
  • 6. I like to add potatoes back into pot, turn fire on low, and allow excess water to dry out, then remove from heat.
  • 7. Add pepper, butter, chopped chive, onion and garlic powder. Then cream with masher to the chunky state.
  • 8. Now add the sour cream, and beat till potatoes are creamy and smooth, taste, & add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • 9. Add potatoes to a serving bowl, add a pat of butter if desired, while potatoes are still hot. Top with additional chive if desired. Serve & enjoy while potatoes are still hot.

Tips:

  • Yukon Gold potatoes are recommended for their creamy texture and buttery flavor. However, you can use any type of potatoes you like.
  • Make sure to peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a potato ricer or masher to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. If you use a food processor or blender, be careful not to over-process the potatoes, or they will become gluey.
  • Add the milk, butter, and chives gradually, and stir constantly to avoid lumps. You may not need all of the milk, so add it until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or nutmeg, to taste.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately, or keep them warm in a slow cooker on low heat.

Conclusion:

Creamy chive mashed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make creamy chive mashed potatoes that will be the hit of your next meal.
