Ingredients
1 tsp pepper
Instructions
1 To a large pot, add potatoes, garlic, and 1 tbsp salt; then cover with cold water, making sure there's about an inch of water above
the top of the potatoes. Heat to high, and bring to a boil. Boil for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender. Remove from
heat. Drain water from pot. Put potatoes and garlic back in the pot.
2 Add butter to the potatoes, and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired texture. Add sour cream, 3 tbsp heavy
cream, 1 ½ tsp salt, and pepper. Stir until potatoes are creamy. If the potatoes seem a little thick, add another tablespoon of heavy
cream, and stir again. Serve!
Tips
Yukon golds are my absolute favorite potatoes in the whole world. They have so much flavor! However, you could absolutely
substitute a red potato for the yukons golds, if you'd like.
I like my mashed potatoes lumpy, so I leave the skin on my potatoes. If you're not into that, feel free to peel the potatoes first.
