Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and rinse them under cold water. Cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Place the cubed potatoes into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

While the potatoes boil, peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside for later use.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes or until a fork easily pierces through the cubes.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes in a colander and transfer them back into the pot. Place the pot on low heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently, to evaporate any excess moisture.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 7

Pour the melted butter and garlic over the potatoes. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.

Step 8

Gradually stir in the milk and sour cream, mixing until creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

Step 9

Season with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Transfer the 'All Most Mashed Potatoes' to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
