Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) whole milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) sour cream
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt
- Black pepper
Garnish:
- Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Peel russet potatoes and cut into quarters, ensuring uniform size for even cooking. Submerge in a large pot filled with cold, salted water, preparing for a 20-minute boiling process at high heat until potatoes become tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain potatoes thoroughly, returning them to the hot pot to evaporate remaining moisture. Add unsalted butter, whole milk, and sour cream directly into the pot, creating a rich, creamy base.
- Employ a potato masher to break down potatoes, working methodically to achieve a smooth, consistent texture without lumps. Mix ingredients continuously to distribute dairy components evenly.
- Incorporate garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the potato mixture. Stir vigorously to ensure comprehensive seasoning and maintain a creamy consistency.
- Transfer the seasoned mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, creating soft peaks with the masher for an appealing presentation. Sprinkle freshly chopped chives across the top as a vibrant, aromatic garnish.
- Serve immediately while potatoes remain warm, preserving their luxurious texture and temperature for maximum flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose starchy russet potatoes for the creamiest, fluffiest texture that absorbs butter and milk perfectly.
- Add butter and dairy at room temperature to help create smoother, more evenly mixed mashed potatoes without lumps.
- Warm milk and sour cream before mixing to prevent cooling down the potatoes and maintain that rich, velvety consistency.
- For dairy-free alternatives, replace whole milk with unsweetened almond milk and use vegan butter or olive oil instead of dairy butter.
