So, do you see the {most-of-the-time} disclaimer in the description of the title? That's where this recipe falls! Sooo yummy, but not entirely healthy. But, hey, everything in moderation, right? {although I'm not so sure how much *moderation* we all practiced when eating these last night! :P}
This what the first time G1 has liked any mashed potatoes - so, actually, this recipe got made 2x within the past week! {more than I've made mashed potatoes in the past 3 months!}
The Process:
1. Dice about 6-8 smallish red potatoes. G1 absolutely loved helping me with this process! I had to score the potato sections for him, and then with his kid-friendly knife he could "cut" the rest.
2. Place in a small stock pot. Cover with water, bring to a boil.
3. Boil for about 7-8 minutes, until the potatoes are fall apart when you pierce them with a fork.
4. Drain and then dump them back in the same pot.
5. Sprinkle the top with garlic powder.
6. Add about 1/4 cup milk, 4 tablespoons butter, and about 1/4 cup sour cream. (see, I told ya about the {not-so-healthy} disclaimer! :P
7. Sprinkle with kosher salt {about 1 teaspoon} and pepper.
8. Using a large serving fork, mash them in the pan. I just stir and stir and stir and press the back of the fork into the potatoes - depending how smooth you like them. We like this style of potatoes kinda lumpy!
Enjoy! My husband, myself, and both Gs ate ALL of these!
