Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives
I think these potatoes really speak for themselves. There are countless ways to make great mashed potatoes. This is my favorite way though. Lots of fresh chives and sour cream with Yukon gold potatoes is the perfect compliment to just about anything. I leave the peels on the potatoes, but you can peel them if you like. I just used my potato masher, I like them to be a little chunky. You can also use a food mill to bet a finer texture. They are so perfect, they don’t even need gravy!
Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives
Ingredients:
4 - 6 Yukon gold potatoes
1 cup sour cream
1/2 - 1 cup milk
small bag or a large bunch of chives, chopped
kosher salt to taste
pepper
Directions:
Wash potatoes. Peel if desired. Cute in quarters and add to a saucepan. Cover potatoes with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Boil over medium heat until potatoes are very tender.
Drain potatoes and add back to the saucepan. Add sour cream and 1/2 cup milk. Mash potatoes with a potato masher. Add more milk until you get the desired consistency. Add chives, adjust salt and pepper to taste.

This look and sound decadently delicious. I really like that you’ve used no butter in your dish. These will be a hit with whomever gets to sample them. I hope you’ve had a wonderful day. Blessings…Maryy

Thanks for this recipe; it was simple and yet it came out great! I added some onion powder in the water when boiling the potatoes. They are so tasty!
I also think that Yukon Gold’s do make the best mashed potatoes and they are all I ever use. You can make them with no butter or oil at all and nobody notices. I always get asked what I did to make them taste so good. My family also prefer them with the peelings on. Also I have found that I like them mixed with a small can of Cream of chicken condensed soup, some cheddar and with some garlic too.
yum, such a classic. i love mashed potatoes!
