Ingredients

• 2 lbs russet potatoes
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic

Directions

1. Peel and cube the potatoes into roughly 1-inch chunks, then place them in a large pot with the garlic cloves and cover with cold water.
2. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, add a pinch of salt, then reduce to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Drain the potatoes and garlic well, then return them to the warm pot and let them sit for a minute to steam off excess moisture.
4. Add the butter and mash everything together until the butter is melted and no large lumps remain.
5. Stir in the warm milk and sour cream, then season with salt and pepper, mixing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve hot with extra butter on top if desired.
