Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes
The combination of tangy sour cream and freshly chopped chives works perfectly in these buttery mashed potatoes. Try them alongside your favorite roasted chicken or meatloaf recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 lb potatoes peeled (optional)
- 6 tablespoon sour cream
- 4 oz butter cubed
- 5 tablespoon milk
- 1-2 tablespoon chives chopped
- 1 Teaspoon salt
- As Needed pepper
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into medium sized pieces. Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a knife or fork. Drain the potatoes and place back in the pot. Mash and set aside.
- In a small pan add the milk, butter and sour cream, whisking to fully combine the ingredients. Heat just until the butter is melted. Do not boil.
- Pour the milk mixture over the mashed potatoes and stir until well combined.
- Season with salt, pepper and chives. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Enjoy!
Notes
For less of a tangy flavor from the sour cream, omit 1-2 tablespoons of the sour cream and replace it with milk.
