Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes

Print Recipe

Rich, herby sour cream and chive mashed potatoes that are creamy and flavorful, perfect as a decadent side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh chives, divided
  • Pinch of white pepper
  • Whole milk, as needed
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cover the cubed potatoes with cold water in a large pot and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot on the warm burner to cook off excess moisture. Let stand for 5–10 minutes.
  3. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Add the butter and sour cream. Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth.
  4. Add the garlic powder, all but a pinch of minced chives, and a pinch of white pepper. Stir into the potatoes and taste, adding more salt if needed.
  5. Add a few splashes of milk, mashing between additions, to reach desired consistency. Taste and season once more.
  6. Spoon the potatoes onto a serving platter, smooth the top with the back of a spoon, and sprinkle the remaining chives on top. Serve.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easier mashing and creamier texture. Adjust milk quantity to achieve preferred consistency. Fresh chives add a bright, mild onion flavor that complements the tangy sour cream.
