Skin-on Mashed Potatoes by Jes Mostek serves: 10	No ratings Rating Details Rate this recipe Printable View Print Index Cards

Nothing beats home-made mashed potatoes! Feel free to spice up this basic recipe, or use it as is. Potatoes are extremely versatile and high in vitamins and minerals. Once you make your own home-made masked potatoes, you'll never look back.

Ingredients:

5 lb.

golden yellow (Yukon) potatoes

1/2 c.

unsalted butter (1 stick = 1/2 c.)

1 pt.

sour cream

3 tsp.

black pepper

5 tsp.

salt (to taste)

Directions:

Fill a large pot half-full with cool to luke-warm water. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat. Scrub, rinse, and chop potatoes into uniform-sized cubes. Place potatoes in pot as you chop them.

The potatoes are done when they are easily pierced with a fork. Strain the water and return the potatoes to the pot. Turn on the heat again to sizzle out the remaining water. Turn off the heat and add the butter (cover the butter with some of the hot potatoes so it'll melt faster), salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher (or, in a pinch, you could use a heavy-duty whisk, but be sure not to whisk too vigorously or you could end up with a thick paste; make sure you can still see some chunks and you'll be fine). Then stir in the sour cream.

Note: Add about half of the salt, and taste a spoonful of your mashed potatoes before adding more. Especially if you use salted butter, you'll want to reduce the amount of salt that you add to the recipe.
