The Best Garlic and Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
Use the right kind of potato and you’ll get the creamiest mashed potatoes every time!
The secret to the best mashed potato is using the right kind of potatoes! I love to use Yukon Gold potatoes every time I make mashed potatoes because they are so creamy!
Since they are so creamy they don’t need too many add-ins after cooking because they are so so delicious already! Let me show you how to make these garlic and sour cream mashed potatoes!

The How To
Start with peeling several potatoes. The trick to making enough mashed potatoes for your family or group of people is counting out 1 medium-sized potato per person and then one or two extra for the pot!
Once the potatoes are peeled, cut them into a large dice. The smaller the cuts, the quicker they will cook!
Next, bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove. Add in the potatoes and plenty of salt. Cook for 15-20 minutes, until they are fork-tender (easy to poke with a fork).
Drain the potatoes and mash them thoroughly with a potato masher. Add in sour cream, garlic powder, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Then finally whip with an electric mixer. And that’s it! Perfectly creamy mashed potatoes every time!
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
