Savory Skin-On Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds russet baking potatoes, unpeeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a substantial container with water, adding a moderate amount of salt to the liquid. Next, place this pot on high heat and wait for it to reach a rolling boil.
2
Once the water has reached its boiling point, submerge the desired quantity of potatoes into it. Allow them to cook for approximately 15 minutes or until they are tender enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
3
After the potatoes have completed their cooking time, carefully remove them from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a spacious bowl.
4
Add a generous amount of softened butter to the bowl, utilizing a masher or electric mixer to blend the potato mixture until it reaches a mostly smooth consistency.
5
Mix in a sufficient amount of milk and sour cream, continuing to blend the potatoes until they achieve your desired level of creaminess. Be cautious not to overprocess the potatoes once they have reached this stage.
6
Mix in a sufficient amount of minced garlic and chopped basil into the mashed potatoes. Finally, season with salt and pepper to taste.
