Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes
Creamy, tangy, and herby, these sour cream and chive mashed potatoes are a comfort food favorite. Made with starchy potatoes, sour cream, butter, and fresh chives, they’re the perfect side dish for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
- ¾ cup sour cream
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ to ½ cup whole milk or cream
- ¼ cup fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot with cold, salted water and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain well.
- Return the drained potatoes to the warm pot. Add butter, warm milk, and sour cream.
- Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting milk to your preferred texture.
- Stir in salt, pepper, and chopped chives. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Top with extra sour cream and chives before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use a potato ricer for an ultra-smooth mash.
- Warm milk and sour cream slightly before adding to prevent cooling the potatoes too quickly.
- Add roasted garlic or cheddar for a flavor boost.
