Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
Kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
6 tablespoons salted butter, diced at room temperature (plus extra for topping)
1 ½ cups half-and-half or whole milk, at room temperature
½ cup sour cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by about 1 inch. Add plenty of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, reduce the heat so that the water is simmering. Simmer uncovered until the potatoes are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the potatoes really well; return them to the pot.
  • Turn the stove to low heat and gently shake the pan of potatoes over the low flame for about 1 minute, just to make sure that any excess moisture evaporates. You want really dry potatoes!
  • Use a potato masher, potato ricer, or food mill to mash the potatoes. Add the butter and enough half-and-half or milk until the potatoes are very creamy (you might not need all of the milk, so add it gradually and stop when the potatoes reach the desired consistency). Whisk in the sour cream and chives until completely combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with additional butter or chives, if desired.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds boiling potatoes, peeled
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with cold water and add enough salt so the water tastes quite salty. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes fall apart easily when pierced with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan, making sure it doesn't boil. Set aside until the potatoes are done.
  • As soon as the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Place a food mill fitted with a small disc/blade over a glass bowl. Process the potatoes through the food mill, turning the handle back and forth to force the potatoes through the disc. As soon as the potatoes are mashed, slowly whisk in enough of the hot milk/butter mixture to make the potatoes very creamy. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and the sour cream and pepper and whisk to combine. Taste for seasoning and serve hot.

INSTANT POT MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

This recipe gives you everything you want in a dish of mashed potatoes: supreme creaminess from both butter and sour cream, a deep potato flavor, a little Parmesan for a salty tang, and chives for color and freshness. That said, if you want to bring the fat content down, you can use less butter (as little as 2 tablespoons will still work). But don't skimp on the sour cream, which is necessary for both flavor and texture. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

When stovetop and oven space is at a premium, the slow cooker can be a good friend. This hands-off, one-pot recipe makes creamy, slightly tangy mashed potatoes, and, unlike most mashed potato recipes, this one doesn't call for milk. The potatoes give off enough moisture as they braise, so just some extra butter and sour cream is enough to make them smooth. After mashing, the potatoes hold very well on warm for up to 3 hours: Just add the chives and give the potatoes a quick stir before serving.

Categories     dinner, vegetables, side dish

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks
8 tablespoons/1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus 3 tablespoons, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sour cream
1 bunch chives, minced (about ⅓ cup)

Steps:

  • Toss together the potatoes, melted butter, salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cook on high until the potatoes are very tender, stirring once or twice if possible to encourage even cooking, about 4 hours.
  • Add the sour cream and remaining 3 tablespoons butter and mash the potatoes with a masher until they are smooth and creamy. Just before serving, fold in the chives and season again with black pepper. Taste and add more salt only if necessary.

SOUR CREAM AND CHIVE POTATOES



Sour Cream and Chive Potatoes image

I came up with this dish just the other day when my fiancé asked for a ham that night for dinner. I usually make regular old mashed potatoes with ham, but that night I just didn't feel like it. So I scrambled through my kitchen a bit and came up with these bad boys.

Provided by MizEmerilLagasse

Categories     Potato

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 large baking potatoes, peeled
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup cream or 1/2 cup milk
10 sprigs fresh chives, finely chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces munchee cheese or 8 ounces another white cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and line the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking pan with foil (I use release foil, but if you're not, grease the foil).
  • With a really sharp knife (if you know how to do it) or a mandolin, cut the potatoes just about paper thin (like potato chips); place slices in a bowl of water and set aside.
  • In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 3-5 minutes or until it starts to smell nutty.
  • Whisk in the broth and the cream then bring it to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat and add the chives, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
  • Spread a little of the chive sauce on the bottom of the lines pan then place two layers of potatoes on top of that.
  • Spread more of the chive sauce on that, sprinkle with cheese and start again the two layers of potatoes, then the cream sauce, then the cheese (You should get about 4 to 5 layers if the potatoes are really thinly sliced).
  • Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes then remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes (the potatoes should fork tender, and if they're not, just cover them and cook them for another 10-15 minutes).
  • Let rest on your counter for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for creamy mashed potatoes.
  • Boil Potatoes Properly: Cover potatoes with cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender.
  • Drain Potatoes Thoroughly: This prevents the mashed potatoes from becoming watery.
  • Use Butter and Milk: Butter adds richness, while milk creates a creamy texture.
  • Mash Potatoes Until Smooth: Use a potato masher or ricer for a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Add Sour Cream and Chives: Stir in sour cream and chives for extra flavor and creaminess.
  • Serve Immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh.

Creamy mashed potatoes with sour cream and chives are a classic side dish that is easy to make and loved by all.
