directions

  • Place potatoes in a large pot or dutch oven. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • When potatoes pierce easily with a paring knife, remove from heat and drain. Add potatoes to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix on medium speed until mostly smooth (there may be some lumps, but we usually don't mind that). Serve.

  1. This is now my only mashed potato recipe!
     
  2. Red potatoes are in the WAXY category and usually considered a good choice for mashing. STARCHY varieties like Russet make a fluffy mash.
     
  3. I haven't tried this yet but it looks delish. Only thing is I do not like skins left on my potatoes so I'll make it without. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!
     
  4. What a lovely recipe, I made it two ways one exactly as written for me and one made without the garlic for my dh. Both versions were well received. The potatoes were light, fluffy and full of flavor. The texture was excellent, thanks for sharing a recipe that i will make again. Made for New Kids on the Block
