Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes

Sour cream mashed potatoes are the perfect side dish to any winter meal. Roast? Lamb? Or even black bean burgers – yes, these potatoes are creamy and delicious. Try them today!
For this recipe, I doubled it because I used it for both a beef stew I made for our neighbour and for our thanksgiving meal. I never know what a normal serving of mashed potatoes looks like because I just love them so much – I think I eat like 2 or 3 servings. I could live on potatoes. Oh, and cheese. Yes, potatoes and cheese. Okay, enough of that…time for the recipe.

Ingredients

  • 7 potatoes
  • 1/4 cup of sour cream
  • 3/4 of a stick of salted butter
  • 1-2 tablespoons of milk if potatoes are thick
  • 5 green onions

Instructions

  • First up, gather your ingredients. I like to use the rich sour cream since it has a higher fat content and less sugar. Plus, it's creamer.
  • Wash the potatoes and boil them with the skin on.
  • Boil until they are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, chop the green onions. Set a small handful aside.
  • Then, drain the potatoes.
  • Mash all of the ingredients together.
  • Dish out and top with the small handful of green onions you put aside.
  • Done - time to eat.
