Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes

Yukon Gold potatoes are mashed until fluffy and enriched with milk and tangy sour cream, then finished with fresh chives for a bright, herbal lift. This side is smooth, buttery, and lightly tart, pairing well with roasted meats or holiday mains. Serve warm when you want a comforting, crowd-pleasing potato dish.

Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes
  1. 1

    Put the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes in the boiling water until they are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and mash well.

  2. 2

    Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, beat the milk into the mashed potatoes until fluffy. Stir in the sour cream and the chives until blended. Season with salt and pepper.
