Ingredients

2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup sour cream

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add red potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Transfer potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add butter, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper.
  3. Mash together until smooth and creamy, leaving some skin texture intact.
  4. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.

Notes

  • For garlic flavor, warm butter and milk with minced garlic before adding.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt or half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Mix in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or rosemary for extra flavor.
  • Use plant-based butter, milk, and sour cream for a vegan option.
