Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs potatoes
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 -4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp paprika

Directions:

  1. Peel (optional) and cube potatoes, salt lightly and cover with water and boil until fork tender. Drain well. Return potatoes to pan and heat for approximately 30 seconds to evaporate any remaining water.
  2. Using mashing hand tool, smash potatoes (in pot) to desired level of smoothness.
  3. Add sour cream and continue mashing.
  4. Add 2-3 tablespoons butter and continue mashing.
  5. Add half-n-half slowly - you may not need the entire amount. When potatoes are the desired consistency, season with salt and pepper and paprika. Taste and adjust seasonings according to your tastes.
  6. Serve hot.
  7. *These can be made ahead and kept warm in crock pot or casserole dish and reheated in oven. Left-overs are great for potato pancakes.
