How to Make Country Herb Mashed Potatoes

  1. Peel and chop 2 lbs russet potatoes into 2-inch pieces. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. Place potatoes and garlic in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cover with cold water by about 2 inches and bring to a boil over high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Return the potatoes to the saucepan and place over medium heat.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until any excess moisture evaporates and the potatoes begin to dry slightly.
  6. While potatoes simmer, prepare the herb butter: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Heat over low heat until butter is melted and fragrant. Remove from heat.
  7. Using an electric mixer, beat the potatoes and garlic until completely smooth and fluffy.
  8. Gradually beat in the milk-herb mixture and 1/2 cup sour cream until well combined.
  9. Season generously with salt and a generous pinch of freshly ground white pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish for your favorite meal.
