Instructions

Put potatoes into a large pot filled with cold water.

Add enough water to cover the potatoes.

Add salt.

Cover and bring to a boil; boil potatoes for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. You can tell if they're done by sticking a fork into one of the pieces. If it comes out easily, the potatoes are done.

Drain the potatoes and mash the potatoes into a large bowl using a potato ricer.

Stir in butter, half and half, sour cream and All Purpose Seasoning. You can add more half and half to reach your desired consistency.

Taste for seasoning and add more All Purpose Seasoning if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Potatoes Uniformly 🔪
Cut russet potatoes into equal 1.5-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from being undercooked while others become waterlogged.
Warm Your Dairy First 🥛
Heat the half-and-half and sour cream together before adding to hot potatoes to prevent the mixture from cooling them down and creating dense, gluey potatoes.
Don't Overwork the Potatoes 👐
Use a ricer or masher only until smooth—overworking releases excess starch and creates a gluey texture instead of that desirable fluffy consistency.
Salt Water Generously 🧂
Season your boiling water like pasta water (it should taste like the sea) so the potatoes absorb flavor from within rather than relying solely on seasoning at the end.
Reserve Starchy Cooking Water 💧
Keep a cup of potato cooking water to adjust consistency if needed—it adds natural starch for creaminess without diluting flavors like adding plain milk would.
