Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds boiling potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
Kosher salt
1 cup whole milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, cut them into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large pot of boiling salted water. Simmer uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and then return them to the pot.
  • Meanwhile, heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan until the butter is melted.
  • Put the potatoes into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix them for a few seconds on low speed, to break them up. At low speed, slowly add the hot milk/butter mixture to make the potatoes very creamy. Add the sour cream, 2 teaspoons of salt and the pepper and mix to combine. Serve hot.
  • Three variations:
  • Truffle Butter Mashed Potatoes: Add 3 tablespoons room temperature white truffle butter to the Classic Mashed Potatoes and combine.
  • Parmesan Mashed Potatoes: Add 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan to the Classic Mashed Potatoes and combine.
  • Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Place 1/2 cup garlic cloves and 1/2 cup olive oil in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 20 minutes and then add the garlic cloves and 3 tablespoons of the oil to the Classic Mashed Potatoes and combine.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The potatoes were not cooked through and the whole thing was a mess. I would not recommend this recipe.

These mashed potatoes were just okay. I found them to be a bit bland and lacking in flavor. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more butter and milk.

I made these mashed potatoes for a potluck and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them! I used a combination of Yukon Gold and russet potatoes, and I added a bit of sour cream and chives. They were so creamy and flavorful.

These mashed potatoes were so easy to make and they tasted delicious. I used russet potatoes and they were still very creamy. I added a bit of butter, milk, and salt and pepper, and they were perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out perfect. The potatoes are always fluffy and creamy, and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can customize it with different herbs and spices depending on what I'm serving it with.

These mashed potatoes were amazing! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were so creamy and flavorful. I also added a bit of roasted garlic and fresh thyme, which really took them to the next level. I will definitely be making these again.

These mashed potatoes were a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they were so creamy and flavorful. I also added a bit of roasted garlic and fresh thyme, which really took them to the next level. Thanks for sharing this rec
