Total Time45 minutes
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs small red potatoes
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp sour cream
  • 1/4 cup green onion diced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Scrub potatoes and place in large pot covered with water, bring to a boil. Boil gently until potatoes are pierced easily with a knife, about 30 minutes.
  • Drain well, you do not want any water left in the pot.
  • Mash potatoes with hand masher. Add butter and continue mashing until they are relatively smooth.
  • Add sour cream and stir to combine. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. If the potatoes seem to dry you can add a splash of milk.
  • Add green onion, give a final stir to combine and serve warm.
  • We usually have leftovers, and these reheat well. Put them in a saucepan with a little milk and stir frequently.
