Creamy Mashed Potatoes

March 13, 2014 by Kay 6 Comments

Is there anything better or more comforting than mashed potatoes? My recipe for Creamy Mashed Potatoes come out perfect every time. I think my secret ingredient of half & half is what qualifies these mashed potatoes as creamy.

Don’t tell my husband, Mr. B that I put sour cream in this recipe. He hates sour cream, absolutely can’t stand it. But,  when he taste tested the Creamy Mashed Potatoes he didn’t notice the sour cream flavor. Although, the Creamy Mashed Potatoes were covered in Spicy Beef Tips (a recipe that I will be sharing next week).

Along with serving these with Spicy Beef Tips, these also would be perfect with the recipe I posted earlier this week for Slow Cooker BBQ Beef. What do you  like to pair mashed potatoes with? Please leave a comment, I would love to hear your ideas.

Do you think I have enough butter?

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 4 large russet baking potatoes, about 2 lbs.
  • 2 tsp. salt, divided
  • ½ cup sour cream, I used light
  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • ¼ - ½ cup half and half

Instructions

  • Peel and wash the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into large chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pan and add enough cold water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches. Add 1 tsp. salt to the pan.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in high heat. Once the water starts to rapidly boil, reduce the heat to medium high and cook the potatoes 12 – 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • Once the potatoes are tender, drain the water. Add the potatoes to a mixer and blend on low speed. Add in the sour cream, butter and half & half, mix to combine. Taste the potatoes for salt content, add up to 1 tsp. if needed.

Notes

Yukon Gold potatoes could be used in place of the Russett potatoes.
