How to Make Best Ever Mash
- Peel and chop 1 lb potatoes, 1/2 lb carrots, and 1/2 lb sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces.
- 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.
- Drain off any excess water. Return the vegetables to the dish.
- Using a potato masher (or a fork), roughly mash the vegetables.
- 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.
- For an extra-creamy texture, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk while mashing until desired consistency is reached.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
