Ingredients
3
pounds
russet potatoes
scrubbed and diced
water
as needed
¼
cup
butter
6
cloves
garlic
smashed and sliced
salt and pepper
to taste
1
cup
milk
I use 2%
½
cup
sour cream
¼
cup
Parmesan cheese
grated
¼
cup
chives
diced
Instructions
Scrub and dice your potatoes, leaving the skins on for added texture.
Add the diced potatoes in a large stockpot with salted water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until tender; stir occasionally.
Drain the potatoes with a colander and move the pot back to the heat.
Add a tablespoon of butter and once it starts melting, add the garlic. Cook for 2 minutes then remove from the heat.
Add the potatoes back to the stockpot.
Add the remaining butter, salt, pepper, milk, sour cream, cheese, and chives.
Use a potato masher to mash up the potatoes and then serve with additional butter, chives, and seasoning, if desired.
Notes
I use russets here but yellow potatoes or red skin will work as well.
Leave skins on for added texture & vitamins.
