Instructions

Add cubed potatoes to a pot filled with cold water seasoned with 1 tbsp of sea salt.

Cook on high heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the water begins to boil.

Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until they’re fork-tender (tender enough to be easily pierced or cut with a fork), then remove from the heat.

Drain the potatoes and place them back in the pot.

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher.

Mix in the butter, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and chives, if using. You can also leave the chives out if you're looking for a mashed potato dish that would pair better with gravy.

For extra creamy mashed potatoes, you can use an electric hand mixer to mix them up. Just make sure not to mix them too much or they’ll become gummy.

Notes

If you’re making these potatoes to pair with gravy, we recommend leaving the chives out. You may also want to go low on the salt level since gravy is usually salty.
