Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes - peeled and cut into small pieces

Notes
- Potato Type: Potatoes with more starch will turn into lighter, fluffier mashed potatoes. The really soak up the ingredients and turn into the creamiest mashed potatoes.
- More Flavor: Feel free to add chicken broth or vegetable broth for more flavor.
- Variation tip: Fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary or garlic cloves add tons of great flavor for garlic mashed potatoes.
- Alternate ingredient: Replace the sour cream with greek yogurt to lower the calories.
- Top: Top with crispy bacon, sundried tomatoes, green onions, cheese, chives or sauteed onions.
- No Ricer: Use a hand mixer or potato masher.
