These creamy, buttery mashed potatoes are inspired by the beloved sour cream and onion chips. Rich, fluffy and full of flavor, they’re guaranteed to steal the show on the table.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs. gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 (16 - oz.) tub sour cream, room temperature
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
Steps
- To a large pot, add potatoes and enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Season with salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until very tender and easily pierced with a fork, 15–20 minutes. Drain well, then return potatoes to pot off heat.
- To pot, add butter. Using a potato masher, mash until mostly smooth. Fold in sour cream. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in green onions, reserving a handful to garnish.
