Recipe Introduction

Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes If you like baked potatoes slathered with sour cream and chives you'll love them with the same classic baked potato toppings mashed right in.

List of Ingredients

2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and quartered
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup snipped fresh chives





Recipe

1. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water. Drain the potatoes.
2. Return the hot potatoes to the pan. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Add the sour cream, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until fluffy, adding some of the cooking water if necessary. Stir in the chives.

Serves 4 to 6.
