If you’re a fan of the rich creaminess that sour cream adds to savory dishes, you’re going to love these Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes. They’re velvety, buttery, and have just the right amount of tang—a perfect side dish for any meal.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 15–20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Add butter, sour cream, and garlic powder (if using). Mash using a potato masher or hand mixer, until you reach your desired consistency.
Stir in salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings to taste. Garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, tangy goodness!
