Here at Delish, we believe that no Thanksgiving (or any holiday spread for that matter) is complete without creamy, buttery mashed potatoes.
Ingredients
- 3 lb.
mixed potatoes, such as russets and Yukon golds, peeled, cut into 1" pieces
-
Kosher salt
- 1/2 c.
whole milk
- 3/4 c.
(1 1/2 sticks) plus 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/2 c.
sour cream, room temperature
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Description
- Step 1In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Step 2Drain and return potatoes to pot. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash potatoes until smooth.
- Step 3While potatoes cook, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, cook milk and 3/4 cup butter, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is warmed through.
- Step 4Pour milk mixture over potatoes and stir until combined and creamy. Add sour cream and stir until combined; generously season with salt and pepper.
- Step 5Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl. Top with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; season with more pepper. Top with parsley.
