It’s not a complete Thanksgiving feast without mashed potatoes, and these are as smooth, creamy, and buttery as they come. A hint of garlic gives the potatoes a boost of extra-savory flavor, while sour cream provides just enough richness and tang to keep you wanting more. This recipe serves 8-10 people. Nutrition values are for one serving.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into 1-inch pieces. (TIP: For a smoother texture, peel potatoes first.) Peel garlic. Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain, then return potatoes and garlic to pot. Add 3 TBSP butter and mash until smooth. Stir in sour cream and half the milk. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve. Just before serving, stir in another 3 TBSP butter, adding splashes of remaining milk as needed until desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving dish.
