Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, fluffy, and easy to make, this sour cream mashed potatoes with chives recipe is the perfect side for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any meal! I love the tangy and rich flavor that it brings to the table without having to break a sweat making it.
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes (or Yukon gold, peeled and cut in half)
- salt (for the water and to season with)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or milk)
- pepper (to taste)
- chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1
Bring a (covered) pot of salted water with the potatoes to a boil. Once it has reached a boil, slightly uncover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Drain the potatoes and add them to a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher (or a potato ricer) until there are no more large chunks.

Add the butter, cream, and sour cream. Continue to mash until it has reached your desired consistency. Use a spatula to finish off the mashed potatoes to make sure everything is evenly distributed. Add additional salt and pepper and top off with chives as desired.
