Mashed Potatoes

Mashed Potatoes

• 6 large potatoes, peeled

• 1 stick butter

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1/2 tsp. pepper

Peel and cut potatoes and place in large pot of boiling water. Melt butter and warm milk in the microwave. Potatoes are ready when a fork can easily stab and break apart potatoes (usually 10-15 minutes in boiling water). Drain potatoes and place in large mixing bowl (I love my Kitchen-Aid for mashed potatoes). Using an electric mixer, mash potatoes into small pieces. Add butter/milk mixture and sour cream. Continue mixing on high speed and add salt and pepper to taste.

Variations:
Add garlic salt for garlic mashed potatoes.
