Ingredients
- 3 pounds red potatoes peeled if desired (see note)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces sour cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1-2 teaspoons garlic powder to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper or 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes (see directions for stovetop or Instant Pot methods below).
- In a large bowl combine hot (drained) potatoes, butter, milk, sour cream, garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Use a potato masher OR use your hand mixer (my favorite method!) to mix your potatoes just until all ingredients are combined - your potatoes should still have a few lumps, do not over-mix!
- Taste, add salt and pepper if needed. Serve and enjoy!
Potatoes - Stovetop Method
- Cut the potatoes into quarters. Place in a large pot and cover with water (water should come 1 inch above potatoes. Bring to a boil over HIGH heat, once boiling reduce heat to medium-high. Boil for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are easily pierced to the center by a fork. Drain the water and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
Potatoes - Instant Pot Method
- Place metal rack in the bottom of your pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water, then place potatoes on metal rack. Cover, set vent to SEAL position. Set to PRESSURE COOK or MANUAL for 8 minutes. Once cook time is up, quick release by turning knob to the VENT position. Once float valve has dropped, remove lid, drain pot, and transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
Notes
- The potatoes: these are my FAVORITE mashed potatoes - I always use red potatoes and I never peel them. This is the way my mother always made mashed potatoes and I absolutely love them. The red skins are so soft and delicious, there's no need to peel them - BUT if you just can't get past the skins go ahead and peel them first, either way this recipe is amazing!
- The garlic: If you want stronger garlic flavor I recommend 1 1/2-2 teaspoons garlic powder.
- Want gravy? Try my famous Beef Broth Brown Gravy - it's so simple and goes perfectly over mashed potatoes!
