Classic Mashed Potatoes

By flavorofvanilla

Delicious mashed potatoes, perfect as a side to any number of dishes.

Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 16 oz. sour cream
• 3 T. fresh chives, chopped
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add the roughly cubed potatoes. Boil until soft enough that a knife stuck into the middle of a cube comes back out without effort. Drain the water and roughly mash the potatoes. Add sour cream and chives, and mash with a potato masher or the back of a large spoon until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, serve warm.
