Instructions
- Peel potatoes and cut into large pieces. Place in a large pot and cover with water and sprinkle with 1 Tablespoon of Salt. Bring to a boil. Once the potatoes reach a boil, lower the heat to low and cover. Cook for 25-35 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain.
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter and 1 cup of half-n-half until butter is melted and warm, about 5 minutes. This can also be done in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat for 1 minute or until the butter is melted.
- Use a potato ricer or potato masher or put potatoes into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attatchment and mix them for 30 seconds to break up the potatoes.
- Slowly add butter and cream mixture, mixing at the lowest speed. Fold in sour cream, and salt. If you want the potatoes to be creamier, use the remaining 1/2 cup of half-n-half, milk, or cream. Taste and season more if necessary.

Notes
