Learn how to make fluffy, creamy garlic mashed potatoes using Yukon Gold potatoes, butter, and sour cream. This easy side dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the quartered potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes well. Return them to the pot.
  4. Add milk and butter to the pot with the potatoes. Heat over low heat until the butter is melted.
  5. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the sour cream and minced garlic.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For an extra garlic flavor, roast the garlic cloves before mincing and adding them to the mashed potatoes.
  • Ensure your milk and butter are warm before adding them to the mashed potatoes for a creamier texture.
  • You can substitute heavy cream for milk for an even richer mashed potato.
