Skin-on Savory Mashed Potatoes

SUBMITTED BY: MOONHAREHAYASHI PHOTO BY: ELLEN666

"This is a version of Mashed Potatoes that my husband actually likes. You can use any type of potatoes and change the amounts of butter, sour cream, and milk to your taste. I like it with russets myself."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 pounds unpeeled potatoes, cubed
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain potatoes, and transfer to a bowl. Add butter, and mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until potatoes are starting to become smooth.
