Preparation
- Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cold water. Add the salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes longer. Drain and return to the pot. Set aside.
- In a small pot over medium heat, bring the butter, cream, and garlic to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from the heat.
- Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes. Add the sour cream, then mash with a hand masher until the potatoes are creamy, but still very chunky. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with green onions, if desired.
- Note: Any small waxy potato would work well in this recipe — such as Yukon Golds or new potatoes.
- Enjoy!

Very crumbly and dry. I doubled the butter, cream, and sour cream which much improved the flavor and texture.

Double the butter, heavy cream, garlic mixture add about 3-4 tbsp of garlic, add the sauce slowly until you reach the consistency you like your mashed potatoes

I doubled the butter, cream, and sour cream and it was PERFECT! I cut up more green onion and mixed it throughout. I will defiantly be making this again ❤️

Instead of heavy cream, I just used milk and it turned out really beautifully, it’s super creamy and the chunks make it even better. Personally, I like my mashed potatoes garlic-y, so I also threw in some garlic powder and I’m giving it a 10/10.
