Creamiest Mashed Potatoes


My husband and I definitely have different food tastes. He likes spicy, I like sweet. He likes bananas, I think they are the devil. I also tend to like "smashed potatoes" with skins left on and chunks of potato goodness, he likes the smoother variety. After an anniversary dinner last year at Hearth, I started to come around to the smoother texture and the blatant excuse to add ungodly amounts of butter to anything!



Smooth and Creamy Mashed Potatoes
4 Russet Potatoes, peeled and diced
1 stick Butter
1/3 - 1/2 C Sour Cream
1/4 C Milk (or Cream)
Salt and Pepper

Boil the peeled, diced potatoes until fork tender. Drain the potatoes. Using a ricer , rice the potatoes in batches into the same pot they were cooked in. Return the pot to a low flame and add butter, sour cream and 1/2 of the milk. Stir everything together. If the consistency is still too think add the remaining milk. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
