Ingredients

Scale

5 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes

2 sticks Butter, unsalted or 16 Tablespoons

1/2 cup light Sour Cream or Sour Cream

1/2 cup Chicken Broth, canned, boxed or 1 chicken bouillon cube in 1/2 cup water

1/2 cup Milk(healthiest) or Half and Half(healthier) or Heavy Whipping Cream

1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Salt (If using unsalted butter)

1/4 cup Chives

1/2 teaspoon Pepper, white preferred, black ok

1 cup Romano or Parmesan Cheese (optional: less healthy)

1 Tablespoon Parsley, fresh, chopped (optional)


Instructions

Peel potatoes with potato peeler. Cut potatoes into approximately 1 inch cubes.

 

Place potatoes in a medium pan, cover with 1 inch of water, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook approximately 15 minutes or until fork tender. Remove from heat.

 

Strain potatoes. Meanwhile, place butter in bottom of pan. Place potato over ricer over pan and work in batches, scooping cooked potatoes into ricer and pressing through. Continue until all potatoes are completed. Allow butter to melt under potatoes while preparing broth.

 

To Make Chicken Broth: In a glass measuring cup, measure ½ cup water, add 1 chicken bouillon cube and microwave 1 ½ minutes. 

 

Add sour cream, chicken broth, heavy cream, garlic, salt, chives, white pepper, and cheese (if using) to riced potatoes. Stir until smooth. Top with parsley.

Notes

HINT: Ricing potatoes leaves no allowance for undercooked or chunky mashed potatoes.

Pro Tip: Placing the butter in the bottom of the hot pan helps melt the butter and allows for easy mixing without overmixing the potatoes.

Storage: place in airtight container in refrigerator for 3 days.
