On the top of all “comfort foods” lies the beloved recipe for good ole homemade mashed potatoes. There is a science to making this recipe, believe it or not. You want them to be creamy, buttery and savory.
(If you’ve had chunky, runny, unflavored mashed potatoes you know what I’m talking about).
Peel potatoes
Cut potatoes in half
Boil water and add potatoes. Boil on high heat until potatoes are soft enough for a fork to go through (approximately 20 mins).
Drain potatoes in a colander
Add 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of sour cream, salt and pepper to hot potatoes. Mix well.
Add milk to mashed potatoes until you reach your desired consistency (about 1/2 a cup).
Whip until… perfect.
Mmmm……

Janelle, great way to add some delight to the basic mashed potatoes recipe. I prepare mine similiar and sometimes I add some parsley or chives. Thank you and blessings! 🙂
Really good! I made these tonight. I also made Hawaiian chicken marinade and made sandwiches. I used the poppyseed dressing (from the strawberry salad) and made a salad with mandarin oranges, dried cranberries, and salted & roasted sunflower seeds. It was a comfy dinner! Family loved it thanks for the great recipes!
Looks delicious! Is your gravy GF? If so, please share the recipe! 🙂
Hi Stella! Use GF cornstarch as a thickening agent in replace of your usual gravy recipe <3
