How to Make Best Ever Mash

  1. Peel and chop 1 lb potatoes, 1/2 lb carrots, and 1/2 lb sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. Place the chopped vegetables in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 cup of water, cover, and microwave on high for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  3. Drain off any excess water. Return the vegetables to the dish.
  4. Using a potato masher (or a fork), roughly mash the vegetables.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  6. For an extra-creamy texture, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk while mashing until desired consistency is reached.
