Smashed Red Potatoes

SERVES: 4

COOK TIME: 30 Min

Our scrumptious Smashed Red Potatoes are a nice twist on the expected. These creamy and fluffy homemade mashed potatoes can be a potato lover's dream come true.

What You'll Need

8 medium-sized red potatoes (about 3 pounds), scrubbed and cut into large chunks
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 (12-ounce) jar mushroom gravy, warmed

What to Do

Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook 20 to 25 minutes, or until fork-tender; drain.
In a large bowl, combine potatoes, sour cream, milk, salt, and pepper; beat until smooth and well blended. Serve with warmed gravy.

Note

To peel or not to peel potatoes? That's always the question. Leaving the peel on gives your mashed potatoes nice color and texture, and the skin is where most of the nutrients are, but make them the way your gang prefers.

I'm not an experienced cook so I followed this recipe exactly. It turned out good, but I think it might be GREAT if it had MORE sour cream, double the milk, and add butter, butter, butter before mixing! Yum. I kept the skins on, more nutritious like they say and they're very soft.
