Instructions

  1. Wash and cube red potatoes - leave the skin on. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Stir in the salt.
  2. Place on the stove top over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Check to make sure the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and immediately return to the pot while still hot. 
  4. Place the milk, butter and sour cream in the pot and cover with the lid for a few minutes and allow the butter to melt.
  5. Mix in the pot with an electric hand mixer until smooth and fluffy. Taste and add salt as needed

Notes

  • Mashed potatoes get saltier the longer they sit. If you are making these ahead of time, under salt them and add more salt as you reheat.
