Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs red potatoes, quartered and skins left on
- 1 ½ tsp Kosher salt, divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup butter
Directions
Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover. Stir in 1 tsp of the Kosher salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 20-25 mins.
Meanwhile, place the remaining ½ tsp of salt, pepper, garlic powder, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer.
When potatoes are done (pierce easily with a fork), remove from heat and drain. Add the potatoes to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix on medium speed until mostly smooth, or to desired consistency.
