Ingredients

  • 6 potatoes, quartered
  • 1 c sour cream
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a medium-sized pot of about 10 cups of water to a boil and salt heavily (we’re talkin’ salty like the sea!).
  • Once it reaches a boil, carefully add the potatoes and boil for about 10 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • Strain the water, reserving about 2 cups worth for later.
  • Return the potatoes back to the pot and mash them using a potato masher or a fork to your desired smoothness.
  • Return to the pot to about medium heat and add in the sour cream, butter and Italian seasoning. Allow it to reach a slow “simmer” (once it starts to slightly bubble and pop).
  • Continue to slowly simmer the mash while stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve.
