Notes
Prepping the potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Room temperature ingredients: Put the butter, milk and sour cream on the counter to warm up before you start the recipe, so when mashing into the potatoes they don't make them cold like chilled ingredients would. Melt the butter and warm the milk in the microwave if needed.
Mashed potatoes consistency: You can leave a few little chunks in for texture or mash it more until smooth if you prefer it, adding a splash more milk if you need to.
