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 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled, quartered and cut into 1-inch chunks
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cover the potatoes with 1 inch of cold water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes. In a small pot over low heat combine half-and-half and butter. Heat until hot but not simmering.

Give it a quick mix with a hand mixer to incorporate some air and ensure a smooth texture. Do not overmix or potatoes will become gummy.

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.

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:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet Potatoes: These varieties hold their shape well and produce creamy, smooth mashed potatoes.
  • Boil Potatoes in Salted Water: Salting the water enhances the flavor of the potatoes and prevents them from becoming bland.
  • Drain Potatoes Thoroughly: Removing excess water ensures that the mashed potatoes are fluffy and not watery.
  • Mash Potatoes While Hot: This allows the butter and milk to melt easily and incorporate smoothly.
  • Use Real Butter and Milk: These ingredients add richness and creaminess to the mashed potatoes. Avoid using margarine or non-dairy milk, as they can alter the taste and texture.
  • Season Generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for mashed potatoes. Adjust the amounts to suit your taste preferences.
  • Add Sour Cream and Chives: These ingredients add a tangy, herbaceous flavor to the mashed potatoes. You can also add other herbs like parsley or dill, or grated cheese like cheddar or Parmesan.
  • Make Ahead and Reheat: Mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave. Be sure to cover the mashed potatoes tightly to prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Make-ahead sour cream and chive mashed potatoes are a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with various main courses. By following these tips, you can create creamy, flavorful mashed potatoes that will impress your family and friends. Whether you're serving them for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, these mashed potatoes are sure to be a hit!
