Salt and Pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh shredded parmesan cheese, optional
6-8 cloves fresh garlic finely chopped
1/4 cup sour cream (reduced fat)
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened (close to room temp is best)

1 tsp. salt
2 pounds (1kg) potatoes, (Russet, Yukon Gold, Dutch Creams, Creme Gold, Creme Royale)

Method

01

Peel and cut potatoes into quarters lengthwise. Remove any spots, lumps or knots (I call them warts).
02

Place potatoes in a large pot (6-quart) and cover with cold, salted water by an inch. Bring to a boil, reduce heat down to medium-low and allow to simmer until fork tender (about 15-20 minutes).
03

Drain cooked potatoes, add in the hot milk, butter and sour cream.
04

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher until smooth, adding a little extra milk if needed. (OPTIONAL: Use a strong wooden spoon OR electric beaters to beat further until smooth. Be careful NOT to over beat or they will become gluey.)
05

Add in the garlic and parmesan cheese (if using) and salt and pepper to taste.
