Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes cut into 2 inch pieces, (you can peel them but I never do - I love potato skins in my mashed potatoes!)
- ½ cup sour cream (light is okay, regular will yield richer flavor)
- ¼ cup half and half or heavy cream
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 3-4 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1 ½ teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper)
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover potatoes with water. Bring to a boil on the stove, cover and boil until potatoes are very tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain and transfer potatoes to a large bowl (see note).
- Add sour cream, milk ( half and half or heavy cream), garlic, butter, and salt and pepper to bowl. Mash til desired texture is achieved. Serve hot.

Notes
- Alternately you can use my Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes method to cook the potatoes - just follow the recipe through cooking the potatoes, then continue with step two of this recipe.
