Description

Directions

• Set out your butter, half and half and sour cream so they come to room temperature.
• In a large pot add potatoes and cover with cold water
• Bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes until a sharp knife come out easily. For smaller potatoes this is about 30-40 minutes. Larger potatoes could be more like 50 minutes
• Drain the potatoes and return them to the cooking pot, with the heat off.
• Let the potatoes sit for about 10 minutes. This prevents watery mashed potatoes so don’t skip it.
• While the potatoes sit, melt your butter.
• Add the butter and start mashing. Pour the half and half into you pan you used for the butter and warm it up for a few minutes on the stove.
• Once warm add the half and half and mash the potatoes until you reach your preferred consistency.
• Add the sour cream and onions and fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon.
• Serve warm or store in an airtight container. To re-heat bring some water to a simmer in a pot on the stove. In a metal bowl placed atop the pot add the mashed potatoes and gently warm.
